Jenny was my favourite but then someone on mumsnet told me it sounded like a 50 yearold social worker with greasy hair and it made me sad haha

I love Molly and Chloe, Lucy, Jenny or Phoebe. I don’t think Jenny needs a longer name on the bc - I actually think Jenny might be my favourite- it sounds so fresh for this generation.

Matilda often becomes Tilly, which is a bit matchy with Molly maybe. Kate is ok but I know a million Kates aged 30+, which slightly puts me off.

Matilda - love , this is my favorite
Lucy - pretty solid name but for some reason I just don’t like it
Jenny - I like it and it seems quite unusual for A baby born right now. I think I would go for something longer as the full name though and Jenny for short - Jennifer or Genevieve or Imogen
Kate - really like
Phoebe - really like
Chloe - not really keen and seems a bit nineties

I think you need to avoid an ee/y sound at the end. Also, whilst I like Mathilda, Molly and Tilly is a bit "off".

From your list Kate is the only one that works for me but it feels as thiugh it's a different genre.

Jess(ica)/Tessa/Tara/Lara just sprang to mind. Or Martha?

As a sister for Molly? - first name that sprang to mind was Nell as it’s a similar vintage/retro “nickname” style name that suits all ages just like Molly. Could put Eleanor/Ellen/Helena on the BC if wanted.

Other ideas as a fit for Molly’s sister - maybe Nina, Emma, Lucy, Amy or Kate?
