HelpRe: Three new generations of Irish ancestors
in reply to a message by Tiggs
The Welsh lover in me likes the look of Llawrence or Llaurence, but I've never seen a double l name like that amongst Irish names, or that particular one anywhere before. Interesting.
Not a fan of Malachi at all, but I LOVE Malachy (which I know aren't etymologically related, but they're similar looking). Changing the letter and sound at the end makes a huge difference in the color and feel of that name.
Martin I have started liking quite a bit recently.

Malachy
When I first saw Malachi's name, it was spelled as Malachy, but various researchers on this line seem settled on Malachi. They probably aren't namenerds and may not realize Malacy is a separate, and Irish, name. I haven't seen any offical documents yet, not that spellings there can be taken as etched in stone either. I do prefer Malachi, but I'm quite open to Malachy as well.
