+Kjay:Mal could be a nickname for something else maybe the book never just reveals what Mal is short for.The book is only 320 pages long if Evie and Mal are nicknames it's highly possible Disney could of just made up names that Have Mal and Evie infront of it.they made up the name Maleficent which is combination of the names Malevolent and Magnificent. It's highly possibly especially with Disney for them to make names.ik she is Not thats my point if she wanted to be like her mom she would be like a mini Maleficent(A.K.A Maleficent Jr.) Disney just might not reveal what name they put Mal infront of,same with Evie. Disney does tend to be secretive half the time. They could of choosen names no one has heard of For Mal and Evie(with the letters Mal and Evie in front of it).you yourself said Evie is a name just not common,but it can also be used as a nickname,Disney probably decided to use Mal and Evie as Nicknames they probably thought Mal&Evie deserved full names where nicknames could be used. Seeing as Disney made up the Name Maleficent.disney period does love making up names and made even making Longer names out of Nicknames.again it's a Disney movie so them having a different name than a book or story by now should be expected(the original sleeping beauty had the villian fairy as dark fairy that Disney ended up naming Maleficent except instead of a fairy they made her a witch like thing).
