Malachi is one of those Bible names I don't much cotton to, like Ezekiel or Jebediah. It sounds vaguely menacing.

Malachi means 'messenger'. The one usage that makes me uneasy is James Joyce's use for his awful medical student Malachi Mulligan. A real nasty character.

The "Book of Malachi" is kind of menacing, kind of parallels today's world.
