Mark

The shorter, and, let’s face it, cuter version of the serious Marcus, Mark has been a perennial favorite for parents to name their little boys. And why not? Those boys will have plenty of inspirations to choose from whether it’s the apostle Mark from the Bible, or Cleopatra’s other half Mark Antony, or Tristan’s uncle from the medieval “Tristan and Isolde.” While it’s not quite as hot as it once was, it’s still an easy, breezy timeless choice.
