Im 24 weeks pregnant today (due end of June this year).
I was given a dream with 2 names: Malachi && Mordecai.
Both are Hebrew origins.

ISO: what are 2 middle names that would be good for Malachi?

Do you mean 'Jonathan-Cash' as a hypenated middle name???

LezlieLeAnne253 · 09/03/2025 23:15

Yes

Yes

Dear God don't!

First thought was Malachi Andrew Christopher. I like the flow of the two syllables and three syllables.

So similarly
Malachi Conan Esteban
Malachi Douglas Barnaby
Malachi Charlton Benjamin
Malachi Joseph Sirius
Etc. I'm not suggesting those combos but just demonstrating the flow.

Are you a Johnny Cash mega fan?

Can you explain your thinking behind Jonathan-Cash as a hyphenated middle name after Malachi as a first name? Was it also in the dream you had?

josuk · 10/03/2025 00:23

Are you Jewish? Or conservative Christian?
If no to both - consider the fact that your dream is your subconscious playing a trick on you. Your brain is mulling over various names …
And a hyphenated second name is a nightmare.
There are many ways to be original. But don’t saddle your poor child with this…

SnowFrogJelly · 10/03/2025 00:31

Cash?

Why not just have one middle name

LezlieLeAnne253 · 10/03/2025 00:40

SnowFrogJelly · 10/03/2025 00:31

Cash?

Why not just have one middle name

All three of my boys have two middle names so I kind of want to keep the traditionlol up... And I didn't even think of that that Jonathan(Johnny) Cash"...
Major Blonde Moment!

Malachi is also an Irish name.

Hard no to the hyphenated middle name though, and also to Cash even if not hyphenated unless it's a family surname.

Malachi Jonathan Asher might be nice.

Otherwise:
Malachi Damien Jude
Malachi Oliver James
Malachi Dominic Ezra
Malachi Benjamin Arthur
Malachi Isambard Rhys
Malachi Adrian Oscar
Malachi Atticus Ivo
Malachi Sebastian Patrick
Malachi Theodore Caspian
Malachi Nathaniel Rowan
Malachi Vincent Albert
Malachi Francis Valentine
Malachi Julian August
Malachi Jasper Ambrose

Moreteaandchocolate · 10/03/2025 07:34

Malachi is my favourite- it’s got nice nn options with Mal and Cai.

The Jonny Cash association doesn’t work for Jonathan Cash! But I do like Jonathan followed by a one syllable name. How about

Malachi Jonathan Cole
Malachi Jonathan Reid
Malachi Jonathan Rhys
Malachi Jonathan Bryce
Malachi Jonathan Blake
Malachi Jonathan Luke

I love some of these names! Valentine is my favourite boys name right now.
