Comments for the name Marion (2)

Comments for MARION (2):

A famous bearer was John Wayne, whose birth name was Marion Michael Morrison. Guess that Marion wasn't masculine enough for a tough actor, whose characters were mostly cowboys, so surely he changed his name to the more masculine John Wayne for the silver screen.

I really like this name for a boy, but I wouldn't name my son Marion because of fear of him being teased.

Marion Lee, a fashion designer from Project Runway: Season 4, bears this name. I rather like it on a guy.

The tragic heroine in Hubert Selby jr.'s novel and Darren Aronofsky's film Requiem for a Dream. In the book her name is Marion Kleinmietz, but in the movie she is Marion Silver.

Marion sounds too girly on a boy, and yet John Wayne could pull it off somehow. I think this name sounds better on a girl.

This name sounds too feminine for a male in my opinion. I guess because it starts with MARI like Marianna. Not to mention there is little difference between the sound of Marion and Maryanne. It just doesn't cut it for me.
