[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone!
[name_u]Loving[/name_u] [name_f]Mollie[/name_f] as a nickname today, but even though it’s traditionally short for [name_f]Mary[/name_f] that doesn’t make sense to me, and not a fan of [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]. However, I’m really liking the idea of [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Mollie[/name_f].
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] said Uh-MEEL-ee-uh in my accent and [name_f]Mollie[/name_f] like the [name_f]British[/name_f] pronunciation not the American pronunciation of what sounds like [name_u]Marley[/name_u].
I think it works with the heavy M sound in [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], and [name_f]Millie[/name_f] for [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] doesn’t share the same sound either. I’m really loving [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] “Mollie” and even [name_f]Mollie[/name_f] / [name_f]Molly[/name_f] itself - do you think it could work? Also what do you think of [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] with the nickname [name_f]Mollie[/name_f]?
Thank you!
I think [name_f]Molly[/name_f] works brilliantly for [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], with the heavy M and L. [name_f]Molly[/name_f] can also work as a standalone name as it has enough usage. I do prefer [name_f]Molly[/name_f] to [name_f]Mollie[/name_f].

If [name_u]Charles[/name_u] can be [name_m]Chuck[/name_m] and [name_u]William[/name_u] can be [name_m]Bill[/name_m], I see no reason why [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] can’t be [name_f]Molly[/name_f].
Great idea! I think that works really well.
Agree with this! Let us not forget that a nn for [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] is [name_f]Peggy[/name_f]

I think it definitely works — [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] “Mollie” would be a bit more intuitive for me but [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] works

I don’t find it super intuitive, but… why not! It’s sweet, and if you love both names, I can see it working.
I do think it’s a bit of a stretch so I wouldn’t really pick this name if you’re doing so for the nickname. But if you’re liking [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] regardless if the nickname sticks I say go for it and see how it turns out. But I also do like/ prefer Mollie/ [name_f]Molly[/name_f] as is!
I could see [name_u]Romilly[/name_u] nn [name_f]Molly[/name_f] too??
I think it could work - unexpected but not entirely outlandish (I mean, if [name_f]Mary[/name_f] can be [name_f]Mollie[/name_f] 
)
If it was me, I’d just use Mollie/Molly as I prefer it in general, or, I’d consider doing something like [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Olive[/name_f] or [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f] so it made ‘sense’ in my head

I know right??
Also [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] “Molly” makes more sense for me than [name_f]Mary[/name_f] or [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] because it has the M and the [name_u]Lee[/name_u] sound
That is downright adorable and I love it! A little stretchy, but it totally works!

Thank you!
[name_f]Glad[/name_f] to hear it’s being well received 
I think if [name_f]Millie[/name_f] for [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] can work, then [name_f]Mollie[/name_f] definitely can too!
I agree with @wishmay [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] would be a little more intuitive but [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], though a little more of a reach, could work as well

I actually know an [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] that goes by [name_f]Molly[/name_f].
I can see it easily being used for [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] also.
