Fascinating, as your columns always are. Dare we hope for a Polly column some day? My father-in-law, born to an Afrikaans mother and English (originally British) father, had a sister born in 1910 named Molly Esme; both I think were family names, with Molly being a nickname used as a full baptismal name. Mollie is the usual Afrikaans spelling.
