My husband and I both love the name Mallory and plan to call her Mallie. Thinking of the middle name Mae (Mallie Mae). However I’ve read that Mallory means of “ill fate” or unlucky. I’ve read other meanings but the only positive ones meanings were when the name was given to males ( of course 😡) I don’t even know why someone give give this kind of meaning to a name.. ugh. After looking though thousands this is the one we love but I hate the day that comes when we are questioned about the meaning or someone looks it up or even our child looks it up lol. It’s so dumb but just need advice. I’ve tried to ditch it and look for others but I’m struggling! I though this would be easy. My 4 year old daughters name is Evelyn Joy (Evie-pronounced with long E)—advice? Any name ideas out there? Should I abandon it?
