I've met almost no Malcoms... may be a regional thing.

Maybe... I live in Central-Eastern Canada and we`ve quite a Scottish population. Don`t you live in Japan? I would still think it would be higher than it is, though.

I live in Japan, but grew up in Canada (Ont., Ab. and BC)... First time I encountered the name was Malcolm Jamal Warner on Cosby. A guy I knew in high school had it as 1 of his 3 middle names... Other than that, I'm not sure if/when I've met any others... Seems somewhat common among those in the African American community who idolize Malcolm X though... (after doing some research on him, it doesn't quite make sense though because he was so racist and promoted such racism for a while).
