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?

Love Malcolm

@Gatelodge

I'm astonished at the love for Malcolm from some posters. I would group Malcolm with Geoffrey, Keith, Nigel, Bernard, Neville.

Malcolm is your bank manager, the chair of your local Conservative Association, the red-faced man propping up the bar of your village pub, airing his opinions about 'lady golfers' and advocating the death penalty and the return of compulsory national service.

Laughing as agree with all of that except I've never hated the name Keith. I blame being influenced by David 'Keith Partridge' Cassidy.

Malcolm????

Ah, Malcolm is just a solid Scottish name to me. The Malcolms I know are all Scottish. No implications of pontificating men at golf clubs in the Shires.

Colm as a nickname? ??

As Malcolm is pronounced 'MAL-cum', I can only assume you're suggesting your son's nickname would be...

Go for Lewis.

Malcolm makes me think of the character in Watching. But I am old.

That occurred to me too.

I know a baby Neville. Dad big fan of Gary and mum a Potterhead. I was horrified at first but he's 4 now and so cute. It suits him.

I quite like Malcolm!

Malcolm is really awful sorry. Don't do it to the poor kid. Lewis is quite nice.

For those of us of a certain age, Malcolm will always be

Ha ha, Malcolm Rifkind is on tv as I type along with Lewis Goodall.

Malky the alkie not so good if your a west coaster

Malcolm is much much better than Lewis

I like Neville too. Prefer Malcolm to Lewis

I hate Malcolm with a passion. I was called Malc as in a Malcoordinated for years as I have dyspraxia which was nice.

Lewis. 1000%

DH suggested Malcolm and I laughed even had to check whether he was serious. It’s definitely in the realms of Derek, Norman, Roy and Keith to me.

Malcolm is up there with Keith & Trevor for me. Not a name that’s ready to come back.
I like Lewis. x

I really like Lewis

It would have to be Lewis

No no no to malcom

Well baby is out and it's a girl so there will be no baby Malcolm (or Lewis)!

@Gatelodge

If you're giving birth to a middle-aged Rotarian who reads the Telegraph and refers to 'my good lady wife', go right ahead with Malcolm.

Congratulations!

Thanks! I have enjoyed this thread immensely, love MN for the brutal honestly of Internet strangers!!

Congratulations and thank god you won't be opting for Malcolm!
