Marco is a cool name for a boy. Though if you had to call out to a Marco in public, somebody will most likely say Polo back.

Marco Polo is a game that people often play in swimming pools where one person closes their eyes, yells out "Marco" and listens for the other swimmers to yell "Polo" back in order to tag them.

This isn't really a famous bearer but, Marco is a character in KA Applegate's series Animorphs.
This is my second son's name. Our last name is 'Guerra' which means war in Spanish. We came up with the name Marco because the name originates from Mars, the Roman God of War. Marco means war or warlike which matched our family name. For us it was almost too perfect.
