Malcolm
- This name comes from Scottish Gaelic and means "servant of Saint Columba." I like it because it is not that popular in the US now but is not
too old-fashioned. I also like the sound and the origin.
- Although it's a little nerdy, this name seems strong and intelligent.
- It rolls off the tongue. It's very pleasant sounding. I have never known a Malcolm but it really catches me. It's not too harsh sounding or too soft, the sound of it is just perfectly in the middle.
- My younger son's name. I picked it to go with his brother's Scottish name, but found it to be incredibly unique without being made-up or bizarre. This was before 'Malcolm in the Middle,' so the uniqueness may be sliding away!
- Very sophisticated and professional. It is both cute on a small child and mature on an adult and not too common. It will serve a boy well all his life.
- The only one I've ever found that struck the happy medium (classic vs. distinctive), without sounding really pretentious.
- love Scottish names, love nn Colm (like the Phantom of the Opera's and Les Mis. Colm Wilkinson) and its sound and strength
