Associated for half a century with Marlon Brando, who inherited the French-inflected name from his father, Marlon has been especially well used by African-Americans, including the Jackson and Wayans families.  Though heard much less now than it was in the seventies, this could change as parents look to the names of old Hollywood stars. 
<br/><br/>Keith Richards, Dennis Miller, and (more recently) Monet Mazur all have sons named Marlon.
