Thoughts? Better clarify it's for a girl and not a boy...

I like it!

One of my fave name ideas for any future DD's is Amelia on the birth certificate but Mimi for everyday.

Nah it's a nickname or diminutive of a longer name. And I'm old enough to remember Mimi LaBonque, the very short 'tart' - in her own words - and resistance fighter from Allo Allo. Which will no doubt still be shown on Gold or Dave or whatever when your DD is at school.

Please don't. If you love Mimi then find a longer M name so that you can use Mimi but so that she can find her own way with her name.

Must go away and find out how many babies were named Mimi in previous years...

Agree with most of the comments here. Name is not one I would use, but wasn't sure if I was in a minority when I heard this is what my brother has called his baby (they live abroad so not worried they'll see this on mn!)

It's the name of Hello Kitty's friend. I would not like to be called Mimi. Would you like it at your stage of life? If yes then that's fairly valid. (None of that is meant to sound carcastic but I think it looks like it does. It is a proper question)

Also the name of my neighbour's chicken but I'm pretty sure that won't be a concern!!!

Nope. Hates it. Feels "unfinished".

Fat bird off shameless

or a porn star when she is older. It just sounds to cute and girlie for a grown up woman, she'd never be taken seriously.

Or a hamster Smile

Sounds like a nickname - cute for a little girl.
