Molly's a beautiful name with lots of good associations.

Molly Brown--unsinkable, Molly Ringwald--John Hughes' muse, Bloom or Malone--inspired works of fiction, Maguires or Pitchers--represent social change/compassion.

Molly was a dog name in the 90's and now is becoming a popular choice for humans again. I think it's cute but no one with this name is going to be a supreme court justice.


I had a great-great grandmother from Ireland named Molly.


It's my name


Molly is a pretty classic nickname. It's been around for ages. A dog name? Maybe. But I also know dogs named Jackson and Brittany, so I guess any human name can be given to a dog.

Of course some people don't like some names. It's normal. It's ok. The place to express that is NOT to someone's face - but do you really expect people to stay mum on the internet?

All my friends who've just recently birthed have given their kids the most god-awful, ill-fitting names (which I'm not posting here because they're on here). I would never say how stupid the names they picked sound. But I can say it here.


Truth.

Yeah, seriously people. Nothing and no one is universally liked. It just doesn't happen.

Actually, I've never thought about how others feel about my own name (a traditional name). I understand the snark about all these stupid trendy kids names, though. I guess your own name you really have no control over, but as a mom, you make the choice to name your kid Brooklyn or some shit.

I do not feel bad at all, only interested in finding more positive online experiences.

Don't feel bad - my kid's name is hated and spelled stupidly per dcum. Does it really matter what others think, though?

Well, I'll chalk this thread up to a new life experience. Can't say anyone's ever told me to my face that they hate my name, but they're sure not afraid to tell me behind a cloak of anonymity on the internets. Brava, ladies of DC!

I am sure that somewhere on DCUM someone said that there would never be a supreme court justice named Sonia.
