I like the sound of this name, but I would probably use it as a middle name rather than a first one.

Marlon may find its origins in the Old French word, "merlin", meaning, "little hawk", or is possibly a variant of, Marcellus, which is the root name for, "Marc", as cited in the BTN listing. But it should be noted that "Marlon" and "Merlin" do not share their roots with "Marlin", which is short for "marlinspike", a sailor's tool.

I don't know, even though Marlon Brando is the most famous person with this name, I still think of a black person when I hear it.

Only black people are named Marlon. It's a silly kind of name. I picture a large, overweight black man. Nice personality, but not to intelligent.

Johan's comments about the name Marlon are really rude and low-brow. You have insulted people of African descent with your words that happen to be quite tasteless. Stop focusing on attaching negative attributes to names based on an overactive imagination and lack of respect for others and try focusing on the true importance of this site and how you can contribute positively PLEASE! Your additions are sad, uninspiring and quite rude. What a disappointment to a new member of this group.
