Your imagination is the limit.
Of course, to me Molly is fine as a grown-up name. Why would it not be good enough as a formal name? B/c it originated as a nn or b/c it ends in -ly? (but there are many fn ending in -ly, like Lily, Hayley, Holly etc)
I think this is a very American thing, I don't think anyone in Sweden would worry about Molly not being grown-up enough.

You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams."
