I don't know why, but this name somehow sounds very 'evil' to me. It doesn't give the impression of a nice person.

The beginning of this name makes me think of a morgue. It's still an awesome name though.

Mordecai was the name of the falcon belonging to Richie Tenenbaum (Luke Wilson)in the movie "The Royal Tenenbaums".

The English pronunciation is MOR-də-kie, not mor-də-KIE.

I have no idea why you would use a name with the etymological element for death beginning it.

For some reason, I really like the name Mordecai. It kind of sounds like the name of some ancient warrior or something.

I think it's a wonderful and very strong name. And if you're using it on a pet, it would fit on a large black dog or some kind of larger bird, like the falcon in the Royal Tenenbuams.

Actually, I had no idea this was a first name. I've seen it as a surname, but not a first name.
