Molly. Was chosen girl's name for dc2 but had ds

piebald · 21/02/2011 21:30

Chloe

nancythenaughtyfairy · 21/02/2011 21:34

Both pretty, but Chloe.

CharlieBoo · 21/02/2011 22:01

Both gorgeous.... I think I like Molly more but love Chloe too. Not helping am I? Lol

OliveMalay · 21/02/2011 22:08

Chloe is gorgeous.

Molly is OK but I think of it as a nickname and "in fashion" whereas I see Chloe as more classic.

scottishmummy911 · 21/02/2011 22:13

Chloe

MelinaM · 21/02/2011 22:32

Definitely Chloe, I can't imagine an adult named Molly, Chloe is such a chic name that works from baby to adulthood! Lovely choice x

Beamur · 21/02/2011 22:33

Molly.

I was going to suggest an adult Molly, but the only one I can think of is Molly Sugden which might not be a vote winner!

Jojay · 21/02/2011 22:35

Chloe seems more of a 'proper' name to me. Molly is a nickname and not so good on a grown adult.

So Chloe!

PaisleyLeaf · 21/02/2011 22:37

Molly
But I know a couple of Chloes who've put me off Chloe.

changer22 · 21/02/2011 22:38

Molly.

Ondine · 21/02/2011 22:38

Chloe, less cutesy and more chic than Molly.

plonkerr · 21/02/2011 22:40

Molly

I know adult Molly's who suit their name perfectly. I've never viewed Molly as a cutesy little girl name.

OTOH Chloe is lovely too.

Happy choosing

Molly, Chloe is getting rather passe now, it was huge in the late 90's.

Highlandgirl · 22/02/2011 10:08

Okay IMO....

Chloe is a bit 'girly' for me... I like pink and playing with barbies.

disclaimer: Not that it's not a nice name. Bit late 80's early 90's as someone said already.

...yet Molly seems more..I like climbing trees and can run faster than the boys...

Can you tell I might of been a tomboy...grew up on a farm..blame my dad!

agora1 · 22/02/2011 13:52

Molly - it's my daughter's name. I know a 90 something with the same name as my daughter, surname and all, so works on an adult too.

flower38 · 22/02/2011 15:15

Molly although prefer Holly

cheesesarnie · 22/02/2011 15:18

molly-i know an 80 year old molly,and a twenty something molly.and 10 year old dd!

highlandgirl my molly is just as youve described

ThatVikRinA22 · 22/02/2011 15:19

i have a Molly who is 13, (she is beautiful and i am biased!) Molly for me!

berryshake · 22/02/2011 17:13

Chloe. I am not keen on the Molly/Millie/Maisy names...

Jen2727 · 23/02/2011 16:39

Chloe ... beautiful name!

mathanxiety · 23/02/2011 16:57

Chloe. I'm not a fan of the Millie/Mollie thing either.

Hulababy · 23/02/2011 20:59

My DD is a Mollie. I love her name and it really suits her.

Re. the "can't imagine an adult names Molly/Mollie" - I know of more than one adult, and one in a position of authority and pretty high up in her line of business. Molly/Mollie is a pretty old name, so there are many adults with that name about.

Chloe is okay but not one I am particularly find off if I am honest.

TorianaTollywobbles · 23/02/2011 21:01

Chloe, as I have one!
