A woman I know named her ds
Malachi. But in the e-mail announcement, a mutual friend guessed at the spelling and wrote it as
Malakai. I must admit I was relieved when I found out it was really
Malachi.
Malakai reminded me too much of the Hawaiian island of Molokai. It's a gorgeous place and a lovely association, but it interfered with the Biblical fun I was having thinking about my friend's naming style (
Hadassah and
Malachi).
