About Mally
Mally actually has several possible derivations beyond being a medieval nickname, ala Molly, for Mary . It might be a diminutive of names like Mallory, derived from French meaning "unfortunate" or "unlucky," or as a nickname for Amalia, meaning "work" or "labor" in Germanic languages.
While Mally is more distinctive than the popular Molly, it sounds the same and so will cause endless confusion.
Pronounced MAL-ee.
