Molly B. Burnham: Hello. My name is Molly B. Burnham. The B stands for my middle name, which is Bright. My granny used to always call me Molly B. The name Burnham is made up of two words, burn and ham. These words are from an ancient language called Old English. Burn is a word that means stream, and ham is a word that means village. So my name means village by a stream or Burnham. I used to have a friend who called me Moldy Burned Ham, but that was a long time ago. Most people still just call me Molly.
