Possible problem with DD's chosen name

Hello, we love the name Molly for our impending DD but are slightly worried it doesn't sound right with our surname which is the same as the famous actress called Joan and begins with Coll. The problem is the repetition of the 'oll' sound in Molly and Coll*.

Do you think it sounds ok or should we forget about the name Molly altogether? It is my absolute favourite and could really do with your help!

No it is too matchy I think.

How about Milly? Although for me the double "L" might still be a bit much.

Sorry I do think it sounds wrong. It's just too similar.
