I've asked myself this question also because as much as I like Molly, I do find it a bit precious. On top of that, I prefer Molly Rose as one name and I'm pretty sure that's over-the-top precious. Oh, well ...

I much prefer Molly to Holly.

I prefer Molly to Holly, certainly. Holly is annoying to me for some reason. I don't think that Molly is too cute. It's sweet.

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.)

I really like the name Molly, although can never quite decide which spelling I like best, Molly or Mollie. Prefer Molly to Holly though.

Molly is pretty name

Molly is cute. It would be more refreshing with a middle name like Molly Virginia, Molly Susan or Molly Faye!

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.

Molly is a GP for me...I'd just never use it but I think it's cute. I like it better 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.

It's one of my favorite names. The spelling Mollie is also cute. Holly is cute if it's a Christmas or December baby; other than that, it's a little annoying.

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'.
