HelpRe: Holly or Molly (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
They both seem a bit Irish...not exclusively so at all, but more so than the average name.
Molly's age is harder to place, although I don't think Holly is that dated.
Molly is a medieval diminutive, like Maude and Lucy, while Holly is a plant name, like Ivy or Hazel.
If I were picking a color for each: Molly is brown (because of "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" maybe?), and Holly is green, because of the bush/tree.
They could both have religious associations. I get the feeling that the same group of people that'd like Lily, Noelle, and/or Molly, might also like Holly.
I prefer Holly.
