I think it's okay. It's not something I like enough to use, but it's fine and usable. It's much better than an overused name such as Matthew. I prefer the Malachi spelling. Malachy just doesn't look right to me.

This name always reminds me of when I was in high school and in English class we were studying the play "The Matchmaker", which had a character in it named Malachi. We were required to memorize scenes and act them out in front of the class. Nobody, but nobody, including myself, had any idea how to correctly pronounce Malachi and we were all saying "Mel-ATCH-ee". The student teacher pointed out our mistake in tones dripping with contempt at our stupidity.
