Help[Opinions] Re: Malcolm
in reply to a message by Lapin
I like it - started to after encountering a small boy with the name. It just seemed really cool to me.
It's pretty rare for me to think a name is old and clunky, and then suddenly see it as cool, but that's what happened.
I used to think Malcolm was one of these "stiff and cranky old guy" (imo) names like Arthur and Walter and Herbert ... but then I saw it on the child and it seemed to transform into a "strong man-name that suits a rebellious youth too" - more along the lines of Henry or Gordon or Oscar.
I think brothers Malcolm and Duncan would be cool.

Well, if that isn't me and Hazel! lol I used to think it was a crotchety old lady name, but then I saw it used for a very young character (baby, actually) in a fanfic I read once; now it's in my PNL!
