[Opinions] Re: Malachi?
in reply to a message by Taz
Yes, it's biblical, because one of the Old Testament prophets is Malachi (the last one in the Old Testament). I like it, but I have a stronger liking for Old Testament names than my wife has, so I've never gotten to use it. Good sound, in my opinion. I think it will be seen as a known name rather than something zany or made-up, not likely to result in teasing, and not likely to become faddish.Combinations? Go with a single-syllable name such as Tate or Grant or Paul.Nicknames? Maybe "Kye" (or however you want to spell it--I mean calling him by the last syllable of his name). I like that better than "Mal."

Sorry, I misread your question--you asked if it's TOO biblical, not whether it's biblical. I guess that's purely a matter of your own taste. What makes a name too biblical? I don't find anything wrong with a name being biblical, and lots of the most beloved names in the English language are taken from the Bible. Think of Leah, Rachel, John and James. Those are all Bible names.
