Mimi for short

Always loved mimi as a nickname/short name. Any ideas on longer versions - not quite enough of name on it's own, for me!

Thank you!

I know one who has it as a full name and one Mia who ends up being Mi or Mimi, I think its really cute!

By the way, I have a Mimi. It’s not short for anything, it’s her full name. Although the name is a little one, its impact is big! I think quite a few people end up using it because it’s a bit more exciting than the real name. You might as well use a really thrilling full name if Mimi is going to be a NN. What about Marguerite? You could probably get away with anything starting with M, to be honest.

I have a Mimi--That's a lie her name is Mia, but she's been Mimi since about 18 months...

Bubbletrouble43 · 21/11/2020 22:39

Amelia/Emilia
Miriam

Already said, but these were the ones which sprung to mind^^!

Only young one I know is Hermione

Had a fabulous great aunt called Mimi but I think that was her full name.

@Spanglebangle, oh, maybe I’m thinking of Micheline, actually. Think Marcheline was Angelina Jolie’s mother, perhaps.

Brens13 · 21/11/2020 22:31

The mimi I know is Anne-Marie

Marcheline is rather good. Have you seen the Hugh Grant film, “Bitter Moon”? There’s an outrageously sexy French character in it called Mimi, whose full name is Marcheline, I think. I love the name Mimi, I think it’s chic and fun.

Emilia

Spanglebangle · 21/11/2020 22:26

Micheline - it's french pronounced Michelle-leene

Oneandabean · 21/11/2020 22:24

Jemima

GeorgiaGirl52 · 21/11/2020 22:21

The Mimi I know is short for Rosemarie.

Yennefer19 · 21/11/2020 22:11

The Mimi that I know her full name is Maria.

RaininSummer · 21/11/2020 22:09

Miranda, Marianne, Mimosa

My cat is called Mia but over the years her name has changed to Mimi - It's Mia when she's naughty 😆
