Well, it's been on our short list of names we agree on for ages, and since it's also a family name, it's probably what we'd use for a second son, so I love it. And when I was canvassing our friends and family, it was very well received. Though since its a family name, maybe they're just biased remembering dear old Uncle Malcolm? I digress. I do think it's a little old fashioned and a little weird, but in a good way, that's what I like in a name. As far as the name hating thing, I think unless you name your kid something outlandish, chances are he won't hate it. Most folks I know don't give their names that much thought, kwim? Naming is just like every other aspect of parenting, all you can do is make a reasonable choice and hope for the best ;).
