Mallory

Mallory is a given name, used for both males and females, though now predominantly feminine.

It derives from an Old French surname meaning "unfortunate" or "unlucky," though this etymology rarely influences parents choosing the name today.

The name gained popularity in the United States partly through the character Mallory Keaton on the 1980s sitcom *Family Ties*.

Mallory is starting kindergarten this fall.
