March is my favorite month name for a boy, but Mary Charles, nn March, is weirdly appealing. I have the urge to sit down and make a list of "Mary + Masculine Name" combos now.

---

March could also work anywhere Marcy might, like for Marsha or Marcelina.

Oh man, I love the idea of combining first and middle name to make March. That's awesome!

---

Mary Charles is good. You're okay with a masculine name in the middle, I take it. Also...
Marianne Charity
Mariam Charlie
Marcella Channing
Margaret Chelsey

---

Marjorie nn March is super cute.

---

Just on it's own, March would be fine for a gutsy parent who could handle the looks. :) There is nothing inherently wrong with it besides that it is a word that is not used as a name. But it sounds fine, has no awful meaning, it's just a bit weird.

I really like March too! I wonder why it's never (or not that I know of) been used as a girl's name?

---

Mary Charles makes me dry heave but Marjorie nn March is kinda cute.

---

I don't see why March can't be used as a name on its own. April and May are!

---

eta: now I'm thinking about the combo Susannah March. I might have to steal March from you!

I don't like it much.
I have January as my top GP boy's name, but March I don't like because it's a verb as well. March, marching, marching bands...

---

Just like how I love Summer and Autumn, and Winter is okay, but Spring never sounds good to me cos it it being a verb.

---

Marjorie nn March is okay, better than March being a full first name.

---

Mary nn March is kind of odd though. It doesn't link at all to me. I'd never use Charles as a name for a girl! Even if it's a family name, there are female versions of it.

Reminds me of "Little Women".

It's not that bad as a nickname for something like Marjorie or Mary Charles. Actually, I really like the sound of Mary Charles. It's different.

March makes me think of Mars and war. It sounds very masculine to me, even as a NN.
