I've never seen / heard the double "l" in Irish. I always assumed that was a Welsh feature.
Martin,
Lawrence and
Malachi are all favorites of mine.
Martin and
Lawrence are currently underappreciated classics and I hope they catch on in the future. They have a steady-Eddie quality to them, for me.
Malachi happily has shaken off the "Children of the Corn" thing and seems to be gaining popularity now. Personally I prefer
Malachy to
Malachi, but they are both terrific. Both sound dashing and slightly mysterious.
