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.

Why don't you call him Mac and your husband can use Mal? My parents call me two different things. My mom calls me "Cookie" and my dad calls me "Spookie." They rhyme. He liked the sound, but he thought Cookie was too feminine.
