Seconding all of this!
I really like [name_f]Mallory[/name_f], it’s simple, sweet and kind of retro cool, also made me think of [name_f]Malory[/name_f] [name_m]Towers[/name_m], and the Babysitters Club, which are both nice associatons. I know its meaning isn’t great but most people never think about / aren’t aware of many name meanings. I also think it has good nickname options of [name_f]Mal[/name_f], or even [name_m]Rory[/name_m].
