[Opinions] Molly
Lately I have fallen in love with the name Molly. What do you think of it? Is it too cutesy?
And just curious: do you prefer Molly or Holly? I love them both!

I'm torn about Molly. I think Molly has had enough usage as a full name that it's not overly cutesy. It's definitely "youthful" though. It sort of falls into a gray area where it's much cutesier than Mary but less cutesy than Mimi.
That said, I think Holly sounds more mature.
Ultimately, I like both names, but Holly is my favorite (and my mn.)

Molly is pretty name
It's cute, but a bit too cutesy for me. Holly, it's very cute, but something about it's crisp green imagery keeps it from being too cutesy! I'm really digging Holly!
Molly.
I have a friend named Molly and she's the sweetest girl ever!

Molly is fine as a nn. As a full name, it sounds like a dog's name or something. I know somebody who just called her daughter this, had I known her better I would have tried to talk her into a full name.
I like Holly better of the two, probably because I have a good friend with the name.

I like Molly and don't think it's too cutesy, but I do think it's too nicknamey to use on its own. I'd only use it as a nickname for Mary. It's much better than Holly.
I've loved Molly for a really long time. I don't think it's too cutesy unless paired with a middle name like Molly Mae or Molly Kate. Although I must admit Molly Kate is a GP for me. I like Molly loads more than Holly.
I love the name Molly. I think it can be cutesy and sophisticated at the same time. I personally prefer Molly. I have a great-aunt Molly whose real name is Amelia.
I think it would look nice on someone with red hair. Personally, I don't really like it.
I had several dolls named Molly (Molly Dolly, yes I know.) when I was a child. I have a major soft spot for it.
I think it could work on the right girl. I know a real Molly and she suits her name. It is really cute.
Still slightly prefer Holly, though.

I don't think it's too cutesy. It is a cute name, but not so much so. I had a teacher in high school who named her daughter Molly, and she was adorable.
I prefer Molly to Holly; I guess I just like the 'M' sound as opposed to an 'H' sound. To me it sounds a bit 'Harsh'.
