Opinions on Mollie/Molly?

[LightTurquoise]

Molly is a lovely name. I'm not keen on the other spelling at all.

I just wasn't sure which was the original

Molly not mollie

Spell it properly Molly

Okay, but I was asking for opinions on the name, not the spelling!

Wasn't it a form of Margaret? So neither is the proper spelling?

That isn't clear at all. Most people will assume if you've got alternatives for spelling you're asking which is best.

I love it. This was our wecond choice girls name

I wish I'd used it for dd2 but dh thought it was too cute. it's her middle name and all close family call her Molly

No! Sorry! You're welcome to say which you prefer, I was just asking for opinions... That's why I put "Molly/Mollie" as we hadn't decided

Love Molly.

My DD's friend is called Mollea but her friend's call her Molly. I love the unusual take on it.

I don't think Molly has every been short for Margaret.

Are you thinking of Daisy?

Lots of Molly's about - think it will date

Peggy is short for Margaret.

Yes OP i think people know that, we are saying the spelling that we like the best, as well as liking the name.

Actually Wikipedia informs me Molly can be short for Mary and Margaret

I have a Molly. I luffs it!
Don't actually mind either spelling.
I don't know any other girls her age with the same name.

Molly is short for Margaret - DSD's middle name is Margaret and we call her Molly

Love Molly! It was my great-aunts name
Wished we'd chosen it for DD

I think it's fairly timeless actually. Derives from Mary or Margaret.
Meg is short for Margaret also.

Blimey so Margaret has - Molly, Daisy, Meg, Maggie, Margie, Peggy, Madge. What a versatile name.

I like Molly!

And Polly!

My sister is Molly. Only thing she finds annoying is that lots of people call their dog it..
