  8. Thank you for posting this. I did not name my daughter Mallory for this exact reason even though it was one of my favorite names. We did not want her to grow up with part of her word meaning bad or unlucky.

    Great Job!

  21. With havin so much written content do you ever
    run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement?
    My site has a lot of exclusive content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any solutions to help prevent content from being stolen? I'd really appreciate it.
