Molly.

Know several cool teens called Molly, it really is a lovely name.

Both are sweet I'd say Molly, it has a less nicknamey image...

I like both. Molly sounds more 'country girl' and strong while Milly/Millie is daintier and 'refined.' In my own head that is! DS3 would have been a Molly or a Milly. Smile

Both too cutesy for me, but I'd choose Millie if I had to. Probably Millicent.

Molly was a diminutive of Mary originally. Milly could come from Amelia or Millicent.

I have a Millicent. She's the only one I know and I hate it and you shouldn't use it.

I actually love it and don't want it to be popular!

Both too cutesy for me. I'd pick Molly if I had to. I think of Millie as a diminutive for e.g. Amelia or Millicent.

Molly

But both are more suited to a baby/child/cat/dog than an adult
