Not the whole time but Malachy which I fist saw in Angela's Ashes. My barin would say "Mama-kee."

Well, BTN says it's a variant of Maolsheachlann, so I'm not sure.

I heard it on a person -- Malak-eye"

Then I googled and it is "Mala-kee"

I was right the whole time?

That first pronunciation is appropriate for Malachi.
