What's the general consensus on Molly? Too popular? Dated?

I love it.

plonkie · 12/02/2016 19:53

Love it! Would have called my now 4 month old ds Molly if he was a girl :-)

LaceyLee · 12/02/2016 19:55

Sorry but I think it's a bit of a weak name and one that suits a little girl more than a woman. Was very fashionable a few years ago so may date.

It's nice

MNetter15 · 12/02/2016 19:58

I neither like nor dislike it. It's safe. That's a good thing though Smile

It's one if those names which I always think should be a nn for something else. It's nice enough, but makes me think of a Victorian kitchen maid.

It's not dated though, it's quite popular around here, as are Alfie, Ellie, Archie, etc..

I know what you mean. I think it was originally used as a nickname for Mary or Margaret.

Really lovely

MyBigFatGreekYoghurt · 12/02/2016 20:08

I'm not keen because it's a nickname not a full name and I've got a thing about having that on the BC!

A nick name I assume is better for s child anyway so maybe consider putting the full name Mary on the BC

Rather wet. In a similar vein to Daisy, Poppy, etc. Better suited to a little girl than an adult.

GissASquizz · 12/02/2016 20:11

Love it.

cheapandcheerful · 12/02/2016 20:13

I prefer Polly

thebiscuitindustry · 12/02/2016 20:15

I don't like it, sorry. It's a bit prim and cutesy.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 12/02/2016 20:15

Lovely. But then I love the Molly, Daisy, Poppy names and think they suit adults perfectly well.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 12/02/2016 20:29

I have a Molly. It's a nice name and it suits her really well, but I wish I'd have thought more about it now.
She was either going to be Rose or Molly, but she literally had the name Molly written all over her face.

DramaAlpaca · 12/02/2016 20:58

It's too cutesy for my taste, but better than the likes of Maisie or Poppy.

IoraRua · 12/02/2016 21:07

Meh. Safe, a bit bland tbh. But nothing wrong with it really, just to me it doesn't have much to it.

villainousbroodmare · 12/02/2016 21:24

Dog name imo, like Daisy, Maisie, Poppy etc.

Luckygirlcharlie · 12/02/2016 22:29

Love it

cheekstime · 15/02/2016 12:59

Molly is nice but it just sounds too much like Dolly for my liking x
