To me, Molly, Sally, Jack, and Lisa are names in their own right. I just don't see how you can get Molly out of Mary, Sally out of Sarah, Jack out of John, and Lisa out of Elizabeth. (I understand Lisa out of Elisabeth, though.) I'm called Molly, which isn't a nickname for Mary but it's for Amalie (prn Amalia), but I consider it a full name that I would give to my daughter, when I have one.
