Which do you prefer?

Allie would either be a stand alone name or nn for either Alexis or Alexandra
Carrie would probably be a stand alone name although I don't mind Carolyn

I have a Carrie. It's beautiful and will always be my favourite girls name

Thanks all.

I hadn't considered Alison as a full name for Allie but actually quite like it.

I like that Leah is biblical and therefore a classic but the popularity of other L names - Lyla, Layla etc at the moment does put me off slightly

Allie is great.

Molly and Carrie have always sounded like fake names to me. Hard to explain.

Leah is an inconsequential puff of smoke.

Carrie is sweet.

Leah, Alison or Alice are nice too.

I love carrie, allie and Leah, not keen on Molly at all - it seems a very different type of name, to me, the first three are strong names, Molly seems a bit cute and toddlerish.
What about Callie?

Leah is the only one that seems like a full name. L names are everywhere so it feels a bit samey with all the Lily, Luna , Lola, Lila, Lyra, Layla type names
The others are OK, but Allie and Carrie could do with a full name like Alexandra or Caroline.
Molly is probably the one I'd pick
