Just a straw poll really - would you say Mim-e or Me-Me?

Mim-e - other people I know also say Mim-e so maybe it depends what part of the country you come from ?

Me me but other children tend to say Mimmi

which is rather sweet

sweetnitanitro · 08/06/2009 21:10

Me-me. Surely if it were to be pronounced Mim-e it would be spelt Mimmy?

Pingpong · 08/06/2009 21:05

Don't know why I'm stressing really as DC have decided her name is CC (or should that be Cece??)

I'd say Me-me (really like it), but I know a woman called Miriam who is definitely a Mimmy
