Thoughts please? He will have two older brothers, half Irish heritage living in the UK.

Malachy 💙

Torin

Torin.

Malachy looks like Malady and is it Malach-eye or Malarkey.

Milo is a drink

I think I like Torin best, DH likes Milo and my eldest son loves Malachy.

Torin is my favourite of the 3.

DramaAlpaca · 19/05/2022 22:42

Torin is lovely. I really don't like the others.

Definitely not (milo is a dog or cats name. And not the other two either. Poor kid, give him a chance d in life by giving him a decent name to start with.

HoraThird · 19/05/2022 22:58

Torin is lovely- don't like the others I'm afraid!

MissPocket · 19/05/2022 23:00

I like all 3 but my favourite is Milo.

xippo · 19/05/2022 23:03

Malachy sounds like an evil name, same as Ethan and Damien.

MarmiteCoriander · 19/05/2022 23:10

Milo is a hot chocolate drink or a dogs name

How is Malachy pronounced? To me, its Mal-ah-chy but have no idea?

Torin is the best of these

TheVanguardSix · 19/05/2022 23:16

Malachy all the way. Such a cool name.
Torin is as well.
I'm less keen on Milo... it IS a lovely name but it really has, unfortunately, become a dog's name. I prefer Miles to Milo.

seadreams · 19/05/2022 23:22

I know a Malachy, only known as Mal. He is seriously one of the coolest guys I know. Never heard of Torin but I don't think I like it. Milo is fine.

Malachy is beautiful. Milo is a dogs name.
Torin is a bit meh. Sounds like torrid, and also just isn't a very nice sounding word, really dislike it as a name. Sounds like some sort of chemical or brand name.
Malachy is gorgeous. Go for that ❤️

Torin

Undertheoldlindentree · 19/05/2022 23:43

Won't Torin get called Tory as a nickname? Not sure I could live with that?!

Torin

TeeBee · 20/05/2022 08:31

Milo is a dog's name and Malachi just reminds me of Children of the Corn. So my vote is for Torin.

BlueChampagne · 20/05/2022 12:27

Torin for me

BigWoollyJumpers · 20/05/2022 12:30

I know dozens of Milo's - all dogs! Don't got for Milo.

Another vote for Torin, very Game of Thrones.

Beetlewings · 20/05/2022 12:32

They're all lovely, take no notice that some people will always make associations with brands or anything they can clutch at, it's like 'seeing face in things'. One of my dc's has Malachi for his middle name and I adore it

midsomermurderess · 20/05/2022 13:19

I really like Malachy, it make me smile. Torin’s good too, more solemn.

Amdone123 · 20/05/2022 13:53

I love Malachy.
Never liked Torin and didn't know why til a pp just said it sounds like Torrid. Now I know.
Dislike Milo.
