I like it, but I love Malachi :)

Love Malachy; was introduced to it when I discovered it is the name of my Irish 4th gr grandfather, given on the marriage record of his son, my Irish 3rd gr grandfather. My Malachy was a stonemason.

I've long loved Malachi.

Love love love. I've loved it for years. There was a time I would've easily used it too, but not anymore. It's joined my little collection of names that mean a lot to me and I keep stored away to look at and give me warm fuzzies on occasion. It's definitely a very huggable name.

Funny enough, I really dislike Malachi. Both the look and the sound. Changing one letter/syllable makes all the difference to me!

Malachy is a top four or five name for me. I absolutely adore it. Malachi is great too, very dashing and mysterious. But Malachy has the Irish romance to it that I can't resist. (Disclosure: I'm Irish - U.S.)

Malachy would make a fab cat name. We named our male cat Fergus (Melchior) and he'd love a brother named Malachy.

I've always loved Malachy for a little boy, but I think the "Mal-" at the beginning just me think of the prefix meaning "bad" or "unfortunate".

I know they're not related (like Mallory, for instance), but I guess it's been enough to turn me away.

I hope you can look past that the way I couldn't :)

I like Malachi.

I don't like Malachy, sorry.

I mispronounce it as ma-lockey every time, and feel like it is less legit than Malachi.
