Help[Opinions] Re: Julian or Malcolm
in reply to a message by solveig
I love both Julian and Malcolm, they are both in my top 20 for boy's names. Most days though I slightly prefer Malcolm, the name sounds strong but also has a small amount of softness. Julian is softer but it has some strength. I picture a Malcolm as being a little impish or roguish but also someone with strong convictions unafraid to speak his mind or act when it is necessary. I imagine a Julian being a little more shy than Malcolm but not unsociable, I imagine him being very cute and an artistic dreamer sort of person.
The only slight negative I can see is that Malcolm and Miriam are a bit similar but they probably aren't too similar since they don't contain the same number of syllables and the middle of the names are different. That said Miriam and Julian are a bit similar in their endings and number of syllables.
Adam I like and I don't have any negative feelings towards the name but something about it just feels a little bland to me for some reason.
Paul feels very bland to me and very dated to me. Also I dislike that it is only one syllable, I'm very picky towards one syllable names and there are only a few that I love.

Favorite Names:
Aurora, Frida, Dorothea, Althea, Josephine, Vivian, Hazel, Fiona, Willemina, Delphina, Cordelia, Clara, Elaina, Aveline, Artemis, Luna, Leona
Rowan, Adrian, Cassidy, Magnus, Merrick, Rainier, Cedar, Quinton, Ciaran, Arthur, Malcolm, Tristan, Robin, Cedric, Gavin, Kestrel, Peregrine
