I like it.

This is my brother's name. He is not crazy about it. It is one of those names that sounds great in the abstract but is not so good from day to day for a kid since it is so uncommon and does not have any clear referent. It is a name that is better when the kid is older, for some reason. Typically this name has been more for Scottish people and for African-Americans. People meet my brother and say, "Hey, you're not black" or "Are you from Scotland."

It is a cool name but I would be a little careful about it.

I love this name. It's one of my favourites.

Malcolm. Hmmm, I don't like it.
1. I knew a very weird Malcolm. So I can only invision weirdo Malcolms.
2. I just don't like the prefix Mal- on names.
3. I don't like Colm.

I used to loathe it, but recently I've really, really gained an appreciation for it. Malcolm X helps me to have a good association with it, too. I used it in my combo Ulysses Malcolm. I haven't thought about using it as a first name yet, though.

Personally, I think it sounds best with Roman middle names.

I adore the name Malcolm. I thought it was making a modest comeback in the 1990's, but it sort of fizzled out. I'd love to see more Malcolms on the BA lists. :-) I love it with the nn Mac / Mack, but that's not everyone's cup of tea. Sorry for any repeats:
