Mamie for a girl?

What do people think of Mamie for a girl? Is it too old fashioned?

My aunt was a Mary , but called Mamie by her grandchildren. It sort of grew on me.

I'm not pregnant (have just had a Lily Smile) but have too much time on my hands and just thinking of names that might go with Lily in the future!

Cute as a nn, but definitely an old lady name. I knew one in the 80s and she was born in the 1800s!!

It's French for Granny. No.

Hi,
There'd be pronunciation problems when people read the name - ma-mie, mar-mie, mammie, may-mie and so on. Might make it harder for the child as she is growing up, and grown-up, as people won't know how to say it.
