Re: Molly
in reply to a message by )(
Molly and Polly are both family names; I much prefer Polly, though I'm not sure why. Perhaps Molly is too close to the Afrikaans word 'mollig', which means chubby. I don't think of either of them as nicknames for Mary or anything else.

It's funny that you mention that. I have an aunt named Molly and my mother, her twin, was named Polly. Talk about overly matching names. Lol!
