I'm more concerned with his first name during Curse One. It's never mentioned, as the other characters just referred to him as Mr. Gold. I'm assuming that it has something to do with his fairy tale, so maybe Craven or Credell or something like that? (Both those names mean "coward", btw.) His name might also be Malcolm. The curse meant to take away everyone's happiness, and having his awful dad's name would certainly spite him.

As for his last name, I'm sure it's something Scottish. His father probably had Scottish origins, after all. Something beginning with Mc-.
