I LOVE Marius! I fell in love with it in grade 10 while reading a French play called "Fanny". Màrius is one of my favourite Catalan names, I'd definitely use it

I want to like it - I like the Mar- element and like a lot of names ending in -ius. BUT it was the name of my Irish teacher in school who was quite odd. He was prone to violent outbursts and tried to make us all speak Donegal dialect Irish though we lived in Dublin and had educated in Munster Irish till then. I have never met another Marius and have bad associations with it because of him.

Marius, you're late!

What's wrong today? You look as if you've seen a ghost. Some wine and say what's going on... Okay, I'll stop now. :)

So yeah, it makes me think of the Les Miserables character, although that's a bonus for it. But I still don't like it. It makes me think of Marcus, which is a named I've really dislike all my life for some reason. But Marius is at least softer and more romantic, so I can't really dislike it, either.

Not sure about nicknames. I guess Mar or Maury?

I like it and don't feel it needs a nickname.

I love Marius, Mario and Marios (:
but I can't decide which I like best

I like Marius a lot better than Mario. Mars is a cool nickname.

Don't you fret, Monsieur Marius...

I love it, but only because it will always be attached to Les Miserables in my mind.

---

Besides ones listed by other posters, could Rio work? I know it'd work better for Mario, but still.

I like Marius a lot and I prefer it to Mario. Another name you may like is Mariano.
My favorite nickname for Marius would be Mars.

---

Other options:
Mar
Mari
Maru
Even Mario I suppose could work as a nick name

---

Anything else, I think, would be a bit of a stretch.

I don't care for it. I prefer the Italian form Mario.
