HelpRe: Holly or Molly (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
Hi Perrine !!!
I pick Holly.
It is one of my favourite name since I was a child.
I love the plant, I love how it rings amd how it looks like. If I were English it would be among my first choices and in real life it is in my list for a usable MN.
Molly has an horrible sound.
In Italian "molle" means "weak, feeble, flaccid" so it is a bad link imo.
After that Molly is strickly linked with a character: Molly Weasley (Harry Potter saga). This is a very positive link because I love the Weasley Family.
But the negative fact is that because of the character I can figure it only on a woman in her 40s-50s.
Both Holly and Molly are ginger in my mind, this is a lovely fact.
As a name-nerd I prefer the form Polly over Molly.
Polly is charming and fairy-like as If it were Tinkerbell's name.
