A friend of mine just had a little girl nn’d [name]Lucy[/name].
I told my SO that it fit and when he asked what I would have guessed I said “something like [name]Molly[/name]”.
He thought I was crazy that I felt that [name]Lucy[/name] wasn’t too far off base and that I think [name]Molly[/name] and [name]Lucy[/name] are similar.
Am I nuts? Or does he (and others) not see the all-American, sweet, 1950s , nn-name connection that links the two in my mind.
I think they have similar style, but not too close. [name]Molly[/name], [name]Lucy[/name] and [name]Ruby[/name] all sound like a triplet set for me - nickname-y, vintage and spunky.
Yeah, you’re a nut! I had my suspicions…
I can see why you think they have the same vibe, but they don’t to me. [name]Molly[/name] is a warm, sunny autumny name; thin wool scarves and red and orange leaves falling off the trees. [name]Lucy[/name] is white shimmering snow and icicles in a big spooky forest.
All-American, sweet, 1950s , nn-name you hit the nail on the head.
[name]Molly[/name], [name]Lucy[/name], [name]Ruby[/name] and [name]Kitty[/name]
I see the similarities.
I think they’re adorable together! They go without being matchy 
I think they’re alike, but not too alike that they couldn’t be used for sisters. Does that make sense?
Similar in the clean-cut 50s nicknamey style…but I find [name]Lucy[/name] much more serious and polished sounding
They could be completely unrelated. But I agree with the point.
They are similar, but not matchy in the way [name]Violet[/name] and [name]Rose[/name] would be. I think it is just the -y ending that does it for me!
Thanks ladies I was starting to think my brain had gone off the deep end with all the odd looks I was getting.
PS:
Otter -Interesting to hear your descriptions of both. I think of both [name]Molly[/name] and [name]Lucy[/name] as soft summer sunshine girls whirling around in circles on a country meadow, giggling and laughing. I just picture [name]Lucy[/name] with blond whispy curls and [name]Molly[/name] with heavy lushes waves.
