if you hear the name Marion,girl or a boy?

Very old and can be used for either boy or Girl. My favorite actor of all time real name was or is Marion and thats John Wayne!

Hi, bombshell! To me, Marion spelled this way, is a boy name. Now, if it was spelled Maraine or Marian, then it may be considered to be a girl's name. I know two guys that names are spelled like Marion. They are males. One of the boy's is my husband's 1st cousin, while the other boy is a brother of one of my friends. It sounds to me to be a boy's name, spelled like it is.

Most of the time, the name is associated as a female name. However, it has been a guy's name. One famous actor that would be surprising to have that as his real first name used the screen name of John Wayne in all his movies.

Hi bomb, I would say girl and it's a new name. I heard marion before and it was a girl so I based my answer from that experienced! LOL!

It's a girls name. To me this is an older name, almost antiquey, like Esther, Ellen, Mary, etc. This is just my opinion, I do know a one year old named Mary but I have never met a young person named Esther, Ellen, or Marion. Mari (pronounced Mahr-ree) or Marielle maybe, and of course Elle or Ella.

Is it French name? In English version it may be Mary.Mother of Jesus.Then it's a name of a girl.Mary is always new.

It is unisex I think. It is an old name.

Hi bombshell, normally the name Marion would mean a woman/girl but nowadays it could also be a man as it is a unisex name, it is like Vivienne is mainly a name for a woman/girl but my partners name is Vivienne so that is also now being used as a unisex name..littleowl

Marion, can be a male or female name. Of course if I heard that someone is named Marion, my first reaction would be that it is a female rather than a man. I think it is a relatively old name, because my husband's great uncle is named Marion. So the name had to be around for at least 70 years. The football player Tiki Barber has a twin brother named Marion.

Hello bombshell! Actually the gender of the names differ from country to country. For me and mostly for filipinos, marion is usually a guy's name. But to other country, it might be a girl's name.

i don't know anyone named marion, its the name of a town here, but if it were someone's name i would say its a girls name. sounds sorta like "Mary Ann"

I THINK OF GIRL AND ITS MY NAME ... IT CAN BE FOR A BOY ... I THINK IT WAS JOHN WAYNES REAL NAME and if you have heard of him in the states BIG DADDY THE WRESTLER ..

Er.. both. I have friend boy and girl whose name is marion.

i think it is a girls name . it is more suitable to a girl to call . happy mylotting .

For me, this always makes me think of a Girl. I have never heard this name for a guy, and even though in some countries, etc. they might for me, this sounds too much like a Girls name as well. I think this is an older name as well as I have not heard people now a days naming their girls this.

Marion sounds like a guy's name to me My ex-bf's name was Gerlyn... sounds girly ha?

[i]I think it is a boy's name... And it must be new...[/i]

i am not western,so i have no idea of the name old or new,there are many tradition in names, in my opinion,Marion is a boy's name,hoho, isnt it right? I remember some major starring actors in movies have the same name,of course,they are all handsome boys.

I think it is a girl's name.

As for me, Marion can be both a girl's and a boy's name. I've known a guy and a girl named Marion. This name was widely popular in the 90's and probably originated from the name Marian, which means Star of the Sea. =)
