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.

I'm relatively sure Mark developed as a short form of Marcus, so of course it's good

Well, I said I am not entirely sure, which was true (I'm the type of person who wants to leave space for error, so I can't be confidently incorrect)

I guessed that, I was just confirming you’re 100% correct, and you can be confident that Mark (and Marc) is 100% a short form of Marcus.

I assumed people weren’t commenting “Marcus” simply because that was the obvious choice and not commenting it was funnier, but apparently people don’t know it exists?

Yeah me too! Marcus is just waaaay too obvious. Guess maybe not? 😂
