My great, great grandfathers name but is it too 'old fashioned'? What do you think?

DP and I also like Marc, Matthew, Joseph and Caleb.

I love it. Malcolm Tucker is my hero!

I like it, with Mal as a nickname, but then I'm old(ish), and rather out of touch!

It's was a surname which became a first name. Sadly it just reminds me of an old man I'd use it as a middle name Eg. Sebastian Malcolm Jones would be fine

Only if you're Scottish.

And even then....hmmm.

But Cool Malcolms do exist! Malcolm Middleton from Arab Strap for example.

Hideous choice for a new baby.

Sorry OP

I know of a teenage Malcolm. He is a lovely boy, quite sporty. Goes by the shortening Mal and to my knowledge has never had any isdue with his name.

I think it's fine, particularly if it has a family link. The world would be pretty bland if we all chose the same names for our kids

That advert - "Course you can, Malcolm! "

I had an uncle called Malcolm who had a son with his first wife and named him Malcolm. He then divorced, remarried and had another son with his second wife and called him...........Malcolm

To take on their deadly foes, the army of Clives.
