I'm not a big fan. It seems like a name that was trendy in the 1980s and 90s, and had its day and now it feels outdated. I grew up in the 1980s, though, and Justine Bateman played a character named Mallory on "Family Ties" for several years, so that's my biggest association with it. Also, it's a masculine sounding surname, not crazy about those, and the "mal" part isn't very attractive to me. Plus it rhymes with Valerie, also not my favorite name. However, I have a co-worker that had a baby girl named Mallory Grace, and I was a bit surprised. She has rather tryndee taste in names, and as far as those go, this was rather tame so at least there's that. :b
