Jane!

I'm surprised that so many people like Jane. It's so meh.

From your list, I like Margaret, Paige and Molly.

Jane (nn Janie) -- LOVE Jane. Janie is fine, too, and good for a baby, but then I'd chop it to Jane.
Paige -- I never found this name very feminine and I am not a fan.
Holly -- really dislike this one.
Molly -- cute, very cute.
Margaret (nn Maggie) -- like it.

I associate Holly and Molly with dogs (had a friend named Molly who hated the fact that so many people had dogs named that).

I love the other names though, especially Paige.

I like all of them but think that Holly and Molly don't work all that well as adult names so I'd probably go with Margaret or Paige for that reason.

Love Molly, one of my DD's names! I have also met a few adult Mollys that love their name too.

How is Paige not feminine? Its not one of these new unisex names like, say, James and John lol! I LOVE the name Paige. It also is a great middle name. I also like Jane and Holly. I never really liked Molly or Margaret.

I know a whole slew of Maggies under the age of 5. I think it's cute, but too popular, at least in this area.

PAIGE
Gender: Feminine
Usage: English
Pronounced: PAYJ [key]
From an English surname meaning "servant, page" in Middle English. It is ultimately derived (via Old French and Italian) from Greek ??????? (paidion) meaning "little boy".

Also, it doesn't have a long history of use on girls--was first on the social security charts in the 1950s. And it doesn't have a particularly feminine sound to my ear. That's why I said it doesn't sound feminine, though I'll grant that it's definitely a girls' name.

I love them all. Although I don't think of Molly as a full name, more of a nn. Maybe because a Molly I knew was short for Margaret. I also think Molly is tricky because it sounds a little cutsy and there is no "adult" version if it's not a nickname. It's very cute for a girl though. For some reason, I don't see the same issue with Holly, even though it also ends in a Y. But, really, you can't go wrong with any of your choices.

I love Jane and Molly, but I think Molly needs to have a formal name to fall back on. I like Mary, Margaret, and Meredith with Molly as a nickname. Margaret called Maggie is also very nice. Can I interest you in Margaret called Maisie? It's another favorite of mine.

I don't like Holly or Paige nearly as much as Jane, Molly, Maggie, or Maisie.

I like them all except for Paige.

They're all great names!

I love the name Holly! Also, I loved the name Paige when pregnant with DD but could not get my DH into it.
