HelpMalachi for a girl
So now I've spoken to the mother of a girl named Malachi, twelve years old.
What do you think?

I think it's tragic.

I like it - and wonder whether the accent is on the first syllable.

I always hope it is; maLACKee sounds as if something is missing, or at least lacking!

Like Milady Milachi? (smile)
I think the term MiLady was used at least as recently as Star Wars movie not too long before Disney bought the rights, so it is not quite archaic.
I occasionally use the term Milady with a lady friend (even professionally but not necessarily) in a humorous way, but not without a deeper admiration or with an absolute pleasure to be working with, or hanging out with, a particular lady. In any way that my relations might seem "over-the-top" -- and I can be awfully dramatic, it is not without a "lighter note" of mutual affection - that I too might obviously "laugh at myself" while playing such a part.

Why? Why would you use that name for a girl? I just don't understand it!

I agree with this usage!
Hi !!!
Malachi ultimately means 'my angel' so it is a perfect example of unisex name in my opinion.

Not my thing really. Malachi wasn't a name I'd consider a good one to change gender.

ew, no.

I think it's fairly ugly as a boy's name, and it would be unthinkable to me to saddle a girl with it.
But obviously her mother doesn't agree and thought it was lovely, and maybe that's a thing, and her class is full of other girls named after minor male Old Testament prophets?
*looks at a list of them*
It could have been Haggai or Hosea, so I suppose there's that.

I kind of like it, especially the nickname Mal, which has grown on me since coming across the Descendants character of the same name.
