Love it. The Biblical character was a good guy. Would pair well with Malachi for twin boys.

It's funny how this name is more associated with an anthropomorphic blue jay than the bible character.

Please don't tell someone they are not pronouncing their name right. This is my maiden name and I have had many people tell me I mispronounce it. Our family has had this name for thousands of years and I think we know how to pronounce it by now. It hasn't changed. Mor- sounds like more, de- the e short, cai- c sounds like K is silent and the I is long so it sounds like Ki. So it looks and sounds like Mor-de-ki.

I personally love this name. Since I was born with it, that's a good thing. The reason it is used as a name for baby boys is it was tradition in earlier times and sometimes now, to give the first born son the mother's maiden name as a first name to carry on the mothers name. This insured that the name didn't die with the mother's father if there were no sons born to him. I almost gave it to my son, but I had a lot of brothers to carry the name, so I didn't.

MORDECAI is a cool name that I could actually give to my son. It has some kind of dominion with it, all the Mordecais I know are cool.

Sounds like "mortify". Both creepy and cool.

I think it's a cool name because it sounds like it came straight out of a fantasy book or game. It's also unique-sounding. I don't know anybody personally with this name, but there is a character in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance named Mordecai.

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

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.

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

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