I looked it up on PronounceNames.com. It would sound pretty much the way I'd say
Molly, according to that. But I don't think the sound is what you are specifically attracted to, and I can appreciate that. Changing the spelling to
Molly would defeat the whole purpose. I was not previously familiar with it. But I didn't necessarily think it looked made up. Just unfamiliar. I think it's visually kind of pleasing. And since you are thinking of it in the middle spot, it's easier to be a bit more fanciful than it might be as a first name. I think it's absolutely usable.
