The word mollymawk, which dates to the late 17th century, comes from the Dutch mallemok, which means mal – foolish and mok – gull.

Mollymauk - or Mollymawk can also be a group of Albatrosses; I'd wager (a small amount) that this is Taliesin's way of foreshadowing Molly being 'the last of something' or a dying lineage. Either that or 'Foolish Gull' is fun bit of Nominative Determinism he's using to poke fun at his character; Molly being a bit of a 'Foolish Peacock' himself.
