    Did you know any friend whose name is Molly or Moll?
    cause that name has several other meaning

    Molly is other name for MDMA which is street name for Ecstasy drug,
    Molly is also an archaic term in the 1920 to refer to Gangster girlfriend as Gun Moll,
    Molly is also an euphemism for women with loose sexual moral, prostitute or whore,

    and for the fun of it
    Molly is also the name mother of Ron Weasley in Harry Potter

    No, which full name did it come from? Smolly? Mollicent? Lollimolly? Wiki said it's short for Margaret, Martha and Martina, but how the heck did you get Molly from those? English is bloody weird.

    Ai-chan can understand Maggie for Margaret, but why Molly? Where in the names exist an O? If the names are too long to say anyway, then don't give your children long names!

    Man, Ai-chan has a lot of resentment with the name Molly.

    Though not called Molly, but I do know one girl that would turn into a Molly after a can of beer, sometimes accompanied by hysterical laughters and/or poking randomly at others' face.
