It would depend on how obvious the meaning was to me.Mallory is too close to the (modern) French word malheureux so I would never consider it.I love the nickname Suki but in my first language suki means bitches. It is not an insult like in English but too associated with animals.

That is so funny. The first time I ever heard of Suki, it was the Japanese word which means to be fond of something. Daisuki literally means "big fondness" so to love or really like. The complete opposite of how we use female dog in English. Thanks for sharing. I can use that information my writing. :3
