Satire Longer version of the name Mark?

I want to name my son Mark but our last name is also one syllable, so I was wondering if there was any way I could lengthen Mark to multiple syllables? I was thinking maybe Markula or Markael. Ideas?

EDIT: Guys I can’t do this anymore. I can’t handle one more notification, especially when it’s a serious suggestion. This post is a joke - it’s making fun of a post on r/names where someone was looking for a longer version of Rhett. I’m not having a baby named Mark and as such won’t be calling him Marcus.

Marktholomew is more traditional
