Baby number 2 on the way! Another boy!
Male names are hard I think. My husband and I are thinking either Malachy or Arthur.
What do we think?
Thanks :)

Malachy is lovely!

Arthur is lovely as is Malachi ( with an i)

Arthur is lovely

Malachy is lovely and much more memorable than Arthur.

Thanks! We would definitely use the Irish name Malachy rather than the biblical Malachai, as we have a lot of Irish connections! Thank you all!

I quite like Isaac & Arthur together! I have an Isaac & Jude. Can't go wrong with a strong Irish name as well though :)

I detest Arthur. Malachy is gorgeous. However I'm getting a bit of a "Children of the corn" vibe from the Isaac and Malachy combination.
If I've picked up on it others might do.

If it bothers you I'd say go for Arthur. As much I don't like it. I can appreciate its a good strong name.

It's just a movie though! I am getting very attached to Malachy now - the Irish name,not the biblical name from the movie. Would it bother anyone having that combination?
