Malcolm

[julia-michelle.livejournal.com]

My fiance and I agreed that we both like Malcolm quite a lot. Unfortunately he's really hung up on using "Mal" as a nickname. (One guess why!)

What's your first thought if you met a kid who went by "Mal"?

I have french Canadian family, which may be part of my hang-up, but I just can't seem to get past it, since in so many languages it means bad/evil/trouble/pain/illness or similar.

I think of a girl I was friends with named Mallori that we called Mal. It seems feminine to me, but I don't get the same negative connotations you're getting.
