Molly

I'm named Molly, I've always disliked my name. I was bullied because of the drug connotation so i don't really like my name... seems other people don't like it either lol.

Molly originated in the medieval era as a diminutive of the Biblical name Mary.

The name "Molly" has been used since medieval times originally as a nickname of "Mary".

So many people seem to be associating this name with Margaret; it is actually a diminutive of Mary. The 'l' and 'r' sounds are interchangeable in many languages - something about the position of the tongue, I think. Think Harry and Hal, Sarah and Sally, etc.

Molly also means "waiting for the Lord".

My name is Molly, but it wasn't chosen as a derivative of Mary, but as an English version of the name Malke (Mal-kah).
