Overall, I don't really care for this name. Yeah sure, it's becoming popular in recent years but I prefer Marcelino to this. But I still like it in general.
I think this name is so adorable! I have grown to love it since watching the “Ricardo Family” Playmobil show on YouTube. The teenage boy of the family is named Marcel. My husband thought the name and the character were feminine, and apparently other fans have wondered that too.
This is a good strong name, and it's not frequently used at all. It doesn't sound feminine, but maybe a bit wimpy. It could always be shortened to Marc though, if he felt that way.
