Pregnant with our 5th boy.

I like

Elias
Micah
Malachi (a friend told me it's pronounced ma-la-key which I actually prefer to the kai but I like both)

Which is your favourite? How would you pronounce Malachi? Do you have any similar names in your head floating about?

Thank you! Xx

I prefer Micah.
I loathe Elias.
I read Malachi as - kai. I've never heard it pronounced - key. I'm afraid I'd assume you were mispronouncing it!

I know a Malachi and it he is mala-ky

It's my favourite of your choices but I like them all.

Same & same

Love Elias and Malachi (both pronunciations). No idea what the correct way of saying it is but i read it as Kai
