Molly

Molly across 6 registrars

• Molly did not peak everywhere at once. It reached its best position in England and Wales in 2001 and in Republic of Ireland in 2019, 18 years later.
• Its last ten ranked years point in different directions: up in Republic of Ireland, down in England and Wales, New Zealand and Norway.
• The longest ranked record is in Republic of Ireland, from 1989 to 2025.

Each panel runs 1989 to 2025, top of the panel is #1 on a log scale, with guide lines at #1 and #100. Filled dot: best rank. Open dot: latest rank. Read from 6 official registrars with at least 10 ranked years. Where a registrar publishes separate lists by sex, the better rank for each year is used. A 'meaningful' move is 10 or more places. Lists start in different years, so an earlier first year shows the list is older, not that the name arrived there first, and a best rank in the first years of a list is not compared as a peak. Ranks show position, and cannot show why a name moved.

Where Molly is officially recorded

7 official registrars have recorded Molly, between 1989 and 2025, in 36 of those 37 years. Each registrar publishes for its own population on its own methodology, so the positions below are each one country's own ranking and are not comparable with one another.

Its high point came 23 years earlier in England and Wales (2001) than in Scotland (2024).
