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

Wouldn't occur to me that it could be any other way tbh

Interesting that the majority say me-me. I wanted to shorten DD's name to Mimi and pronounce it that way but at a mother and baby group one woman sniggered when I said it and said "I assume you mean Mimi". It's made me really self conscious now

I would say me-me, but if you don't like the alternative pronunciation and if it will annoy you if people mispronounce it I would think of a different name.
