Meaning:Of Molly; Star of the sea
While a nickname at heart, Moll packs a serious punch! This feminine pick hails from the retro favorite, Molly, meaning "star of the sea." It shares roots with Latin Mary and has a long legacy as an Irish name, most notably Molly Malone of Irish folklore. When baby travels across the pond, they can visit the famed bronze statue in Dublin, Ireland, or sing along to Sweet Molly Malone by The Dubliners. And who could forget the 80s teen movie darling Molly Ringwald, whose resilient characters can bring out the best in baby!
