[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] against [name_m]Malachi[/name_m], which do you prefer? I need a name for a character in my book, but I really don’t need to fill out all the descriptions and all. So, I came here-- it’s a simple question: which do you like best?
I would probably use the nn [name_u]Kai[/name_u]/ [name_m]Ky[/name_m] for [name_m]Malachi[/name_m], for [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], [name_u]Theo[/name_u]. 
I much prefer [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] over [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] but I do not care for [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and love [name_u]Kai[/name_u].
[name_m]Malachi[/name_m] is so much cooler.
I prefer [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]- classy and proper, with a British feel.
I think it depends on the character. If you have a cool, laid back guy I would choose [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] but if it is a sensitive guy, I would choose [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]. The names themselves, I prefer [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] (love the nn [name_u]Kai[/name_u], but I’d spell it with a c). I love [name_u]Theo[/name_u], but I dislike [name_m]Theodore[/name_m].
I’d go with [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] if it’s a villain or a dark character and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] if it’s a good guy/if he’s not the villain.
Between the two, [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], hands down.
