Molly

Molly is a beautiful feminine name with English origins. Derived from the classic name Mary, Molly was often used as a diminutive or nickname, but has since been commonly seen as a given name in its own right. Just like its root name, Molly has a few meanings, including “rebellious,” “wished-for child” and "beloved," with additional possible roots in Hebrew and Latin. Molly could also possibly be a diminutive of the Hebrew name Miriam, meaning “bitter,” and the Greek Margaret, meaning “pearl.”

It’s a beloved choice in The Bump community. User led2009 says “I love the name Molly! If it weren't for the fact that we have friends with a daughter named Mollie we would have used it.” User alohamora also adds, “Don't forget about the Unsinkable Molly Brown; she was an adult and a heroine.” Other famous Mollys include Molly Malone, the famous fictional Irish fishmonger, American actress Molly Ringwald, and even Harry Potter character Molly Weasley.
