Not the same name. Malachy is -kee and Malachi is -kie (long I). I know there's been some discrepancies here on how the ending of Malachi is pronounced, but I've never ever heard it with an -ee sound, and it doesn't make sense since it's a Hebrew name. I'm really sensitive about that because I LOVE Malachy (and thus feel a bit possessive of it!) and HATE Malachi. But off the soapbox. :P
Yes, love love love Malachy. Is that the name we're supposed to be discussing? I don't think it would go super well with Aidan, Finn, and Calla. It's a very strong, rugged name to me, and Aida, Finn, and Calla are all very light and soft. I don't think Malachi would fit with them, either, but perhaps a bit better than Malachy.

I'm glad I'm not the only one to love Malachy and dislike Malachi, especially considering how similar they are in sound and spelling.

Really? Awesome! I've always tried to say Malachy with a "kee" but I thought it was supposed to be "kie". My intuition was right all along! Ha!

ouch, calm down. I don't know how he spelled it, he pronounced it -kee and said it was from the Irish name MAELEACHLAINN so I'm assuming he spelled it Malachy, but the BtN site doesn't have a pn for that spelling so I couldn't tell how to prounounce it. And I'd never heard the -kee pn so didn't realise until I came and checked on here that they were two different names.
I was just intruiged about them and thought they were different.

Oh, sorry, I wasn't being really angry! Sorry it came off that way. The perils of typing and not speaking. It's not a big deal, really!
Oh yes, I love Maeleachlainn, too!
