My husband and I love firefly so much that we named out son after Capt. Malcolm. I can only hope that he grows up to be just as strong as the character. If we have a girl we are going to name her Inara.

Now THAT's over-the-top fannishness! Sorry, just my humbe opinion. Poor kid, even tho' nobody'll pick up on it unless you tell them, imagine growing up "Malcolm"--everyone will connect it to "Malcolm in the Middle"! At least "Inara" is a beautiful name...tho' every Browncoat in the universe would "get it".

I'm surprised at you Niki.A little harsh if not a bit rude to undermine the naming of a child.Its not like she is naming him "Moon Unit" or "Rumplestiltskin". Malcolm is a perfectly common and acceptable name,regardless of it's meaning for the parents.Steady on girl.An apology may be in order.!!!!

Peacekeeper---keeping order in every verse!!!

I get a lot of people associating it with star trek: enterprise. But i do have to say the nurses at the hospital where he was born got it :)

I was just gonna say that it's the Vulcan word for "Serenity."

Welcome to the 'verse, little Malcolm.

Lord, I forgot to congratulate you first of all! So most congrats; may he be happy and healthy and live a long, happy life!

There's a "Malcolm" in Star Trek? Oh, wait, you said it was "Enterprise"? No surprise, I've only watched it once...

"Inara" is a gorgeous name; I hope you have a girl next time!
