Really? Some of you think Molly sounds like a nn? I cannot for the life of me figure out what it could be a nn for! Mollyn? Molliana? Mollexandra? I would never think of it as a nn, so I'm just curious!

Molly was originally a nn for Mary as far as I know. The shortness of the name and the -y/-ie ending also makes it nicknameish - at least to me.
