I like Jared, you don't see it so much anymore and Stephen is quite darling in the middle name spot

Jared Stephen kind of sticks out as being a bit dated, but Jonah Magnus is really cool. Malachi James sounds great too, it flows really well.

I really like Malachi James. Jonah isn't my style, but I think it flows nicely with Magnus, which I think is a cool name.Jared isn't a name I'd use, but it sounds nice. I don't really care for Stephen, but it's okay as a middle name.

Malachi - I'd never seen this name until I came on BTN and I have yet to see it outside of the internet, but it's alright. It's a name that would usually be my style, but for some reason doesn't quite make my list.
Jared - I like it but know too many to ever consider using it.
Jonah - And the whale! No, I like it too.I enjoy Malachi James and Jonah Magnus, but I'm not fond of Jared Stephen. Sounds a bit clunky and Stephen brings out the worst of Jared IMO.

Malachi James - The combo seems bland. I love James, but it's boring as a mn, and I have a weird relationship with Malachi. I ultimately dislike it-- I don't like the sound. But I love Malachy, and the look is one letter away.Jared Stephen - It's okay. It's easily overlooked.Jonah Magnus - I like this one. I'm not jumping up and down over either name individually, but they have a nice sound together and have a quiet strength.

Malachi James - I think they go well together and I like the look of the name. I have, however, always found the 'eye' ending in Malachi unpleasant sounding. I would like the name better if it was pronounced MAL-ə-kee instead of MAL-ə-kie but since that is not going to happen in English...
I like the Hebrew pronunciation.
Jared Stephen - Don't like it. Seems a little dated to me and I never liked Jared.
Jonah Magnus - love love LOVE!

Malachi James sounds good, but I don't like the meaning of James... I do like Malachi best of the fns though (all 3 are ok). Magnus is too surnamey (and excessively trendy in sound and style... as are most surnames as given names right now), so that's out. for the mns, I like Stephen best.
