Re: Malachi.
in reply to a message by Siri
I have no real stereotypes about the name because I've never met anyone with it. It doesn't seem lower-class to me, although I am vaguely aware of it seeming either Irish (and historically Irish immigrants in America are often considered working class), or perhaps Jewish, and I'd avoid using it for two reasons - the main one being, I'm neither Jewish nor Irish (at least not to any extent worth naming for); the other being, it makes sort of an oblique reference to Biblical prophecy -- which I think is a little touchy in the current world social climate, unless you have firm beliefs. I do like the sound of it, though. - chazda
