Marcus is a favorite of mine. I'd use it - it's on my list of "would use if husband hated everything else I like more" list. It's so shamelessly pagan and Ancient Rome, but it is also pretty darned conventional (thanks in part I'm sure to the popularity of Mark which is more of a New Testament name). It's one of the few -us names that doesn't seem too Latin for me. I also like the nickname Marc - although I don't care for Mark, which makes no sense.

It would be fun to put it with another Roman -us name but, I won't.

It's hard to make combos with. It's a very masculine name, but with too pretty a middle name it starts to sound floppy.
