I;ve seen it used on females. I went to high school with a girl whose mother is named Marcelle.

Isn't that Ross' monkey from Friends? That and Marcel Marceau are the only times I've ever heard the name, but I never gave it a thought either way to gender. I don't really like either version for anybody, boy or girl, I have to say.

The monkey was the first thing I thought of.

If I were going to use a variant of Marcel on a girl, I think I'd use Marcella.

I've seen it before and I love it, especially because you can use the nickname Marcy.

I know a Marcella. I think it's pretty ugly looking personally.

I know a Marcellus. He was a houseguest on a couple of seasons of the Big Brother show on CBS. He went by Marci sometimes.

My cousin's name is Sonia Marcelle, and we call her Marcy. Not uncommon to me!

I really like it, actually. Never really thought about Marcelle but it's quite pretty... and I love the nn's Marcy and Elle :)

It's really not that strange.
But I don't like it at all (then again, I don't like 'Marcel' either).

I don't like Marcel for a boy, but Marcelle is kind of pretty. I prefer Marcella, though.
