What do you think about . . .

DMDavidson

the name Molly. My girlfriend and I were talking about this because she really wants to name her daughter Molly, but is unsure of the response she'd get.

Opinions?

I like it. I grew up with two Molly's and I also had a great Aunt named Molly.

I like it!

I like Molly a lot, but for some reason, I *always* think Molly Ringwald.

Yeah, that's what we were thinking too. The other thing she's concerned about is that it would sound too old-fashioned - like an old lady's name.

I like it and also like it spelled Mollie.  It was on our long list, but got knocked off when we made our short list.

Not that it's a *horrible* thing, but I just think Sixteen Candles, lol! I still like it and don't think it sounds too old-fashioned.

It's a nice name. Doesn't wow me, but I certainly can't think of anyting "bad" about it. And I don't think it sounds like an old lady name whatsoever. If anything, I think it tends to be more youthful. I also like the spelling Mollie.

I like it. I think it's a name that works for a baby or an adult. In hs I had a friend named Molly. I think the worst nickname she got was being called Moll Flanders after the book title. But that's it. We were a nerdy crew.

DMDavidson

It's good to know that people don't think it sounds too old-fashioned. Both our DH's say it reminds them of an old lady name, but they say that about Emma, Tess, Sarah and countless others. lol

Nah, definitely not old lady-I just had a 5th grade student named Molly. It didn't sound old to me.

(Dare I say it, but I think names like Emma sound much older than

Molly. )?

Also, I have a family friend who spells it Mollie. So I think of it as great at any age.?

Incidentally, this cracks me up - I didn't think anyone else knew of that book! I'm also part of a nerdy crew - I was an english major and am now an editor.

Never knew a Molly.  But when I was little I had the American Doll Molly.  I think its an ok name.

I love the name Molly.?

mfransdell

I love it, it sounds very sweet and happy.

naflmj

It's not a bad name just not something I would use.

Well Molly is my niece's name so I'm biased, but I think it's really pretty. Other than her, I know of two other Molly's in their late 20's/early 30's (they're both hairstylists at my old salon) so I think it's a name that can work for a little girl or a grown woman.  I don't think it sounds "old lady" at all. Like the pp, I actually think that some of the other common names like Emma and Olivia sound more old fashioned. 

tct1219

it's ok but i think it will be more popular in the next couple of years.

CourtneyRDH

It's a fantastic name! We had it on our list as well. It sounds preppy and fun. Not old lady at all.?

Olive21

I love it.

sstar1308

Same thing here!

nowayimpreggo

I am biased because my name is Molly.  But I really like it.    I've never known anyone with my name, but it's common enough to not be mispronounced or anything.  Plus it's not weird, which is a bonus.  Nicknames growing up were been pretty innocuous - Molls, Mollers, Smolly...Yeah, not very creative either!   

sprice88

I love that name!!

MegsInWales49

I think it's really cute and classic!

Chrisy-Wyobride

I think it's cute...then again I like old fashioned names...of course since my DD's are Winnie & Tess )

jebuell

It's becoming popular where I live.
