Mimi

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

Agree with AngelFairy - nn for Imogen

Diminutive for Miriam, too. I think it does run the risk of sounding a bit too cute on its own, but on a feisty girl would be brilliant. Problem is, of course, you don't know what you're going to get... I think it's not just a little girl name, either - I think a teenage Mimi would be cool, and I think Professor Mimi Something or Dr Mimi Something works too. It feels quite cosmopolitan and pan-European, as well.

Cute as a nickname. I know two Mimis - a Maria and a Miriam.

It's not a name it's the sound this guy makes

I like it - it has a lot of character, interesting that it could be the nn of so many names too.

it is a bit porn star (in a similar way to Lola I think).

I quite like it as a diminutive for Miranda though. and I did once meet a Mimi whose full name was Amelia. She was very sweet.

I know a mimi short for Mia

Mimi is what all the females in my family (including my gran!) call thei lady bits. So not for me I'm afraid.

Isn't Nigella's daughter Mimi?

My French teacher at school was Mimi, short for Marie-Helene.

Seems it can be short for anything beginning with m!

I also instantly thought of Mimi Lebonque!

I like it - yes, it is Hello Kittys sister. DD has a friend at Preschool who is Mimi. She has Japanese parents so this is her Western name. I think its cute but cant believe the parents missed the mark so much with her little brother: Ken. Seriously, Ken???

There is a vibrator called mimi!
