Malachi

[PavlovtheWitchesCat]

WDYT?

So, the age - sort of mid+ 30s I am guessing? lots of people won;t know it as he grows up then...

Penthe raising the tone here from Angela's Ashes

Ialin - aaah. So it is already losing its Children of the Corn relationship with the 'younger' parents for want of a better word, and becoming 'trendy' . So, possibly, one half of the population will run away from him and the other half will consider him popular/common as he grows up?

nooooo children of the corn, that film freaked me out!!

...and then the odd few who looked it up on wiki are culturally well read and will nod wisely and apprivingly

My good friend would like a Malachi if she has a boy next. Personally, I dislike it and she told me that most people she ahs told dislike the name also. But, as she said (and I whole heartedly agree), your child your choice

I like it malachi (eye not ee) is DS's middle name

There's two Malachi's in DD's class at school, althnough one spells it Malaki. It's very sweet.

Awful. I think it's ugly and it reminds me of Children Of The Corn.

yes really like it - am trying to persuade DH to call our next baby Malachy but he is more of the Tadgh/Cillian/Dara disposition (i.e 'proper' Irish!)

Prefer the Mal-ak-eye pronunciation but both are nice

Love the name

I really like Malachy...

yes but spell it properly malachy

whaT is corn children?

Scottishmummy Malachi is the correct spelling - he was a prophet and a saint - means 'my messenger' or 'my angel'. It can be spelt Malachy also and is within the catholic church, i beleive, but the original Hebrew spelling is with 'i'.

Children of the Corn is a very scary nightmarey horror film by Stephen King.

And i have just googled some pictures and I have seen it, i was very young and I remember the scarey image of a house on the edge of a corn field. I remember having nightmares about not escaping! I do not recall much about it other than terrifying and luckily NOT the name Malachi

ok,i always think Malachy.thanks for clarification
