HelpRe: Malcolm.

Don't stress!
Billina is right- Malcolm isn't an 'exciting' name. It isn't super fashionable, so all the non-name nerds aren't going to squeal over it, the way they might with Elijah or Jackson or something...names they might have considered using themselves.
It is a strong and respectable name, but probably not a name that they've given a lot of thought to themselves before. It is one of those names that is just *there*.
Lukewarm is better than negative. And there aren't really many (if any) cons to the name that I can see. No real teasing potential, long history of usage, nickname potential that makes it more approachable when he is a teen if he wants it, not too common, easily pronounceable. It isn't a name I'd pick but I can't think of a single good reason not to use it.
He/she is the child of you and X- it could be your only child and you need to choose a name that represents the two of you and that you both love. It is hard enough finding a name two people both love, you'll never find a name everyone loves!
