I love the name. Think it's understated & would travel well. Also think it's quite classless & can't be judged too quickly.
Any opinions?!

I love the name Molly! My mother is 94 and made friends with a Molly during Covid time walks. She was just old enough to be a Land Girl during WWII - whereas my mother was too young. Equally I know a five year old Molly and it suits all ages.

I personally don't like it

It sounds childish

Molly ( formerly a diminutive name for Mary) is a lovely name; a classic and very popular through the decades. I have a great aunt named Molly, and she gets Moll as a family n.n. People love to give nick names, but Molly is a really nice name and ages well.

Thanks, it's my favourite name at the moment! I just feel one can't make an assumption with Molly, could be from any walk of life!

I know 2, one is now a young adult and a lovely woman, the second is a close friends daughter and she is a great kid, eldest of 4 and amazing.
I'm Irish and I really liked it.

I agree with everything you’ve said - it’s a lovely name that’s familiar, but not overused and suits all ages. No issues with spelling / pronunciation, travels well, not tied to any particular class or era.
