Are the Mothers immune to iron?

if the Ladies become the Queen, what happens to the Mothers at that point? The thing is that the Mothers are kind of the foundation. So, it’s not so much what happens to them because the little mantles changed. It’s what happens to the little mantles if the big mantles change. So, if someone whacks the being that is, for all intents and purposes, Baba Yaga, and then Mab succeeds, then Mab becomes the new Baba Yaga, and Molly gets drawn up to Mab, and they have to find someone else to become the new Lady. But on the other hand, the Mothers are extremely powerful beings (continued in the cosmology/mantle sub-section)

While I never, ever want to see Molly as Winter Queen, that does strike me as an amusing scenario in one way:
Imagine a 1000 years from now, Molly with Mab's attitude and 'dignity', but somehow "I am Molly' just doesn't carry quite the same sound as 'I am Mab'.

Perhaps a name change goes with it? Molly is often a nick name for other more formal names.
Quantus:
Well, her full name is Margaret Katherine Amanda Carpenter, so any of those might work as a more formal Name.
Or, as Mira indicated, she might choose a wholly new name as her public moniker. Per WOJ "Mab" is not her actual Name, or at least not her whole Name. Maybe she'll choose one, or eventually decide to adopt something fitting. The name "Maeve" appears in 1st century literature while the DF Maeve supposedly was born only a couple centuries ago, so maybe it's something that gets "picked"?
Despite all the talk about how the mantle will eventually overwrite the host entirely, we've seen several Ladies come and go without name changes, they seem to maintain much more of their Human identities and natures (part of the Lady role in the cosmic balance, methinks). At the other end you have the Mothers that do not appear to maintain much in the way of personal identity (though they might just not share with Harry).
Rasins:
I don't think the person of Mother Winter is vulnerable.
That being said, wasn't one of the descriptions of Mother Summer having scissors and a basket of flowers or something?

She walked in with a basket of "cuttings" from her garden, but there was no mention of any particular tool.
