I remember when I was in high school, a group of us in English class had to act out several scenes from the play The Matchmaker by Thornton Wilder. There was a character in the play named Malachi. Not one of us had a clue as to how to pronounce it and we all said, "Mal-ATCH-ee"! The teacher acted like we were all idiots.
I really don't care for the name (pronounced either the way we idiots were or the correct way)--I think it sounds somewhat stupid.
