Help! Middle names for Malcolm?

[bright-eyes-jh.livejournal.com]

So my husband and I just found out yesterday that we are expecting a boy.

We've been settled on Malcolm as a first name. We both love it; it's masculine without being in your face, it's not that commonly used and yet still recognizable/easy to spell for most people, and it has some good nickname possibilities.

My father passed away a few years ago and my mother assumed we would use his name as a middle name (David). And while I have nothing against David, it just doesn't flow that well with Malcolm to me, and it really does nothing for me overall. I've also never really been big into naming a child after someone else.

So now I'm on the search for either A. a good middle name or B. a good middle name that can also be paired with David for one of those fancy double middle names, to appease my mother.

Our last name is three-ish syllables, ending in "son", if that helps.

My boy names list originally included:

1. Alexander
2. Julian
3. Leif
4. Grey
5. Malcolm
6. Callum
7. Alistair
8. Duncan

I'm also very into nature names.

Thanks in advance!
