Lewis or Malcolm ?

[badg3r]

I feel like we have been round and round in circles but last night these two came up as new contenders for DC3... thoughts?

I really love the name Malcom. Just don’t get the dislike for it in here .

Lewis seems a bit insipid to me.

*Malcolm

Malcolm is due a resurgence. Mal is a very cool diminutive. All of the older Malcolm's I know are top blokes so I only have good vibes for it
Lewis is ok but a bit meh.

Malcolm. Lewis is nice too but Malcolm will be that bit more unique, for the next four years or so anyway.

Malcom reminds me of talcom.

Malc the talc 😂

Jesus, neither of those!

I really like both! I think Malcolm is unusual these days but I love it.

Lewis looks like you heard Louis being mispronounced, but is probably better than Malcolm. That still has an old-man feel about it, but is probably not yet ready for a revival.

What about Colm?

Malcom is a great name, much nicer sounding than for example Arthur. Personally I don't know any young or old Malcoms. I'd love to meet one!

Malcolm just makes me think Tucker. Fantastic fictional character but not someone I’d want associated with my angelic baby.

Lewis looks like you heard Louis being mispronounced,

Eh?!?

Lewis is a totally legitimate Scottish name! What are you on about?

I actually don’t mind Malcolm and love the diminutive Mal. I know a teenage one who goes by Malky.

Lewis is very popular in Scotland and has been for some time.

Oh god, not Malcolm!

Malcolm is the rightful king who restores order at the end of Macbeth (and in a similar vein I rather like Duncan too). Mal is cool.

Lewis looks like you heard Louis being mispronounced,

Lewis is a well known Scottish/British name! Everyone knows how to pronounce it in English.

Louis is a French name that is often mispronounced outside of France.

How about Colm instead?

I like Malcom, Mal is quite nice for short. It's refreshing!

Lewis is very bland, there's loads at the moment. Just my opinion though.

Absolutely Lewis.

Gosh I had no idea Malcolm was so divisive!!

Yes I like Colm as a nickname too, I was quite keen on Callum a while ago but it sounds like Gollum when some people say it 😂

I rather like Malcolm. Good, strong Scottish name. I know a fabulous one in his late 20s, and another even younger, so it doesn’t seem too extraordinary to me. Lewis is nice too but Malcolm had the edge.

What about 'Keith'? It's on a par with Malcolm in my eyes
Sorry

Malcolm

Lewis is fine, in fact I quite like it.

Malcolm is just dreadful.

My son is Lewis and obviously I love it (named after The Isle of Lewis, Scotland as that's our heritage) only ever known two Malcom's ...and one of those was a Highland cow 🙄
