Re: Malachy
I dunno, they're not pronounced the same. I wouldn't imagine a name ending with -y would end with an I sound, although I can see how people could first think it was a weird spelling of Malachi. What with people changing every vowel to a y these days. But I have always sort of thought Malachy was more usable than your general Irish name because it's said how it looks in English. Although I guess it is Anglicized, so yeah.

I don't mean I'd pronounce it like Malachi,I mean if I heard it, I'd wonder why they couldn't just use Malachi because Malachy sounds weird to me.
