The only semi-negative thing -- I had a good friend in college named Molly who hated her name because she thought it was a nickname. Molly is a traditional Catholic nickname for Mary, so she felt like it shouldn't be a name on it's own. I disagree, and think it's a great time, but just thought I'd pass that on.
2 of my cousins first names together is what I think...and I guess I am going to be the only one to say I really dislike the name Molly. Can't really explain why, I just don't like it. My cousin with the name is a gorgeous girl, but I just always disliked her name. My mom and I just called her "the baby" for a long time because we disliked the name so much...
that is just my opinion, and you don't know me, and it seems you have a ton of other people here who love it.
I really like the name Molly, but I don't think it "ages well"; I think it's cute on a little girl but a little cutesy for a woman. I'd like it best as a nickname for another name. I think traditionally it's a nn for Mary, but it could also be for Malia, Amelie, Amalia, etc.
I like the name, but I don't think it pairs well with her sister's name. I don't know what would match better with Finley, but Finley and Molly don't sound like sisters to me.
I think that Molly always sounds cute for a kid, but not for an adult. That being said, I think Molly & Finley sound cute together. Love Paige, one of my all time faves...
My first thoughts were Molly Ringwald and the American Girl doll.

I think it's adorable and a great name!

I love it though!

Very cute! I struggle with whether or not Molly ages well. But the combo is cute, I love your DD's name too.
I like it, but think of Molly as a nn.
