Talk:Molly

Does anyone have a good reference stating that Molly is a derivative of Mary? I see the statement everywhere, trated like a fact, but I have never seen any references at all. Is it just a factoid? --anon


 * It's in the Oxford English Dictionary, for example. "Molly, Mollie (formerly also Mally), pet-form of the female forename Mary." Equinox ◑ 14:14, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
