I think Molly is actually a nickname for Mary in it's origin but doesn't really matter because it's definitely it's own name at this point. I think of Maggie still as exclusively a nickname (for Margaret) but I suppose it doesn't have to be. |

Oh, Marnie! I went to college with the most beautiful Marnie. |
| Jo jo is nn for Johanna, Josie, Jocie, Jocelyn, etc or just one Jo |
