GUEST, Folklore: Forenames in former times (35) RE: Folklore: Forenames in former times 30 Apr 13


There seem to be plenty of Mollys and Pollys in the playgrounds around here, and I suspect that their birth certificates don't say 'Mary'.
I used to believe that Jessie was a diminutive form of Jessica, until I read somewhere that Jessie is a very old name, but Jessica was invented by Shakespeare - maybe someone would care to check this.
