Molly

It is also a slang name for MDMA, but its still an ok name.

Molly all the way. I really hate Mollie, Tillie, etc as they sound like floofy girlie names.

Molly.

Barring very strong personal preferences or cultural backgrounds which favour a different spelling, I would always choose the most common spelling to make things easier going forward so most people instinctively get it right.

I have a molly and can’t bear mollie-it just looks wrong
It’s up to her if she wants to change it

Our dog was Molly when we rescued her, we changed it to Mollie. I think it looks nicer.

Definitely Molly not Mollie.

MargosKaftan · 06/04/2022 13:39

Molly looks timeless.

SpikeGilesSandwich · 06/04/2022 13:42

Definitely Molly. Mollie is a bit chavvy tbh. You're not supposed to say that but it's what a lot of people will think.

My DD is Molly. I do sometimes wish id been more adventurous with the spelling though.

PoleFairy · 06/04/2022 13:49

Mollie. I actually see it as more old fashioned and timeless as my mothers aunt born in 1912 was called Mollie.

StrawberrySanta · 06/04/2022 13:52

Molly. We had a westie dog called Molly, so naturally I love the name
