Both are of Italian origin. Personally, I like Marco better.

Don't let other people influence a decision that you're child will have to live with for the rest of his life. Having said that here's some info...
The boy's name Marco \m(a)-rco, mar-co\ is pronounced MAR-koh, MAR-ku. It is of Latin origin. Italian and Portuguese variant of Marcus. Marcos is the Spanish form. Italian explorer Marco Polo.
Marco has 2 variant forms: Marcos and Markos.
For more information, see also the related name Mark.
Baby names that sound like Marco are Marc, March and Marko.
Marco is a popular male first name and a very popular surname (source: 1990 U.S. Census).
The boy's name Paolo \pa(o)-lo\ is a variant of Paul.
The baby name Paolo sounds like Paulo, Pali, Poll, Pol, Pauly, Pauli, Pal and Pall. Other similar baby names are Pablo and Pavlo.
Paolo is a very rare male first name and a very rare surname (source: 1990 U.S. Census).

Sounds like Marco Polo to me.
But I know a Paolo, he's from Brazil, (he spells it Paulo) I really like that name.

They're Italian. Personally I'd choose Paolo, it'd be the same thing as Paul in English, but it sounds much nicer in Italian, doesn't it?
