Trying for dc2 and starting to consider names again. We have a Thomas (always Tom or Tommy) and have always adored Tessa (tess) if we had a girl.

However, two names I have also always loved are Mimi and Nina. Nina, like Tess, is a name in itself but are there any names Nina could be short for? Mimi is more of a nickname imo, so definitely needs to fuller name on the BC.

Any suggestions?

I know a Jemima who is Mimi.

Katrina and Christina both could be shortened to Nina.

I know an Emilia which is shortened to Mimi, but it was by accident, as her little brother couldn't pronounce her name.

Mimi can be short for Cosima.
Nina for Nanette.

At least the ones I know .
