I know a Martha who goes by the nickname of Muffy and a Mary-Lou who
also goes by the name of Muffy. It just goes to show how uses for
nicknames vary from family to family.
My mother's name is Margaret but she is known as Margie, my aunt is
Margaret and she is known as Marg, my daughter is also Margaret but she
is known mostly as Margaret, only occasionally as Mags, Maggie, Magpie
or Marz.

she was called Molly.

Molly or Mollie can stand alone. I've never seen it used as a nickname to
be perfectly honest. However, Molly is a derivative of "Mary" according to
several general name books I have researched.

My grandmother went by the name of Mollie since both she & her mother had the
same given name (Emma)... why she picked Mollie??? I'll never know...I was
never smart enough to ask her when she was alive.

My paternal grandmother is recorded in the census files as being
named Mary Mollice Knisley. However, she went by the name
Molly. I have never encountered the name Mollice before, so I
doubt if that would account for a significant number of the
Mollys out there in the world.

sometimes Mercy. Nellie was nickname for Ellen... fanny was a

In my own case and the case of others that I have known as "Molly",
the name is a given name and not a nickname.

Maureen was not a common name from 1600 to 1900 and there are
aberations to everything... in almost all cases Mollys and Pollys
were almost all Marys without exception. Also another nicknmame
I find is Hattie short for Harriet.
NOT HOWIE F
That was true in some cases nicknames throughout haistory have
been at times given names.. then it is no longer a nickname...
when it comes to knicknames in all the records I have gone
through the trend seemed to be Molly and Polly for Mary.

And Maureen can be a nickname for Mary, as well as a name in itself.

I have found the name Maureen to be rare in the 1600 to 1800's in
the US... and almost always (there are always aberations and
nicknames used as given names) Molly and Polly were almost alway
born with the Given Name Mary. I am in Billerica also... Have
you availed yourself of the enormous collection of Vital REcords

Unless I'm mistaken about the name Maureen, which is possible, there's
a reason Maureen was rare in the US until recently. It was originally
an Irish nickname for Mary, and is now used in the US(and probably
other places) as a primary name. Before this century anyone in the US
who was called Maureen probably had an Irish family.
Irish nicknames sometimes end in "een" just as English/American ones
often end in y or ie. Kathleen for Katherine is another example.
I have Irish-American cousins who have sisters named Maureen and
Mary.

Quite correct Maura is the Irish equivalent of Mary and Maureen
was a variant or nickname of that...

Molly was usually a nick name for Mary, but that was more likely
from my mother's generation [she was born in 1919] I have never known it to be a
nick name for Maureen. My Mother had an unusual name Mavourneen. I have
never met anyone else with that name, have never heard of anyone
else with it, and have only ever heard it in a song.

Not a nickname. The word "nickname" comes from the original "an ickname"
meaning "an added name"
Maureen is the Irish equivalent of the English Marion/Marian which are all
diminutives of Mary. The origin of Mary is to involved to elaborate on
here.
> Irish nicknames sometimes end in "een"

My grandmothers name was Malinda and she went by the name Molly.

I believe it was used as a "sweet" name for little girls....i.e.
"sugar", "sweetie", etc. but I also had a friend, while growing up in
San Diego, whose name was Mavourneen. Her twin sister was Maureen.
