Like Jamieandhismagictorch it's Finn and Ruby for me too.

Looking at DD she would have made a perfect Ruby but it's just too used here.

Is Malachi really popular, the only one I've ever met is my great-uncle in rural Ireland. He was a "pioneer" wore a little badge in his lapel, and had promised to abstain from the evils of alcohol for all of his life. In lots of ways he was an excellent role-model,and he was an all-round good-chap,and as I recall a jolly good dancer. His name was pronounced Mal-a key

Lily - my favourite name since I was about 10, but can't use now as there are tons of Lilys round here

Jaden - I know, I know, but I still love it
