monkey wrench
in reply to a message by Malk
What about Malakai? I don't know whether most of you consider it a legit spelling of Malachi or not. I'm guessing not, but I love Kai, and this provides the most logical way to use Kai as a nickame. Of course it could still be used with the traditional spelling, but I kind of like this one. And I think Kai fits really well with Aiden, Finn, and Calla.

A woman I know named her ds Malachi. But in the e-mail announcement, a mutual friend guessed at the spelling and wrote it as Malakai. I must admit I was relieved when I found out it was really Malachi. Malakai reminded me too much of the Hawaiian island of Molokai. It's a gorgeous place and a lovely association, but it interfered with the Biblical fun I was having thinking about my friend's naming style (Hadassah and Malachi).

Oh wow, Hadassah and Malachi together is just brilliant! I can see your relief at the spelling.

I agree about Kai, although I don't really like Malakai and if it was going to be short for Malachi I'd prefer Chi, Chai, or Cai.
