I love my name--and how I got it is kind of funny. At first I was going to be Whitney, but my mom's friend had a baby and named her Whitney, so my mom didn't think she should name me Whitney and so on. But she needed a name because I was going to be born quite soon. So she was watching a TV show called Family Ties, and one of the characters on the show is named Mallory. She really liked the name, thought it was unique and decided that she would name me Mallory. And now that I am about the same age as the character was, my mom says I remind her more and more of my namesake character all the time.
