For example Rumplestiltskin's wife's name is Milah, and his son is named Baelfire, I never heard  those names before, specially Baelfire which i think is really Awesome, and Hook who is someone who is from the same period of time is named Killian, and his lover is named Cora.

Most of the Enchanted forest names are special and symbolic, some more than others, and is an interesting contrast the Enchanted forest Names compared to those of Storybrooke. This is why I think is some kind of a slip from the writers naming Rumple's dad Malcolm, there are so unrelated.

They should've chosen at least a name of Peter Pan's Creator James Matthew Barrie Agreed! I mean you look at Rumple's family names and then you have "Malcolm." I mean no offense to anyone who is actually NAMED Malcolm but pit that up against Rumplestiltskin, there's obviously some kind of trend missing here. (Although I don't recall Cora being Killian's lover.) Not too sure naming Rumple's dad after Barrie would've been a good idea either.
