We want to call our dd Mimi, but want to give her the option of a longer, more professional name should she want it in the future.

Which long name for Mimi would you choose from this list? We're really struggling to decide...

Jemima
Emmeline/Emilia/Emily
Miriam
Imogen
Esme/Esmé
Hermione (hadn't thought of this one previously, but saw another thread where the OP had a Hermione nicknamed Mimi)

Jemima and Miriam are the only ones that doesn’t feel like a bit of a stretch.

Miriam is a gorgeous name.

Not much help

PeggySchuylar · 24/07/2018 01:10

From your list Emilia and Esme are the ones with a meee sound in them si they feel less of a stretch

TheVanguardSix · 24/07/2018 01:12

My auntie was Hermina/Hermine- known as Mimi or Mina.

DangerMouse17 · 24/07/2018 01:12

Mireille? Like Mireille Enos...the actress from the killing

NoTeaNoShadeNoPinkLemonade · 24/07/2018 01:15

Amelia/Amelie though I do hear this shortened to milly a lot

NoSquirrels · 24/07/2018 01:17

Miriam, which is lovely in its own right.

PeggySchuylar · 24/07/2018 01:18

Millicent
Miranda
Samira

Pemba · 24/07/2018 01:19

Miriam

MrsTerryPratchett · 24/07/2018 01:19

I like Emmeline, Esme and Miriam. Choose the name you like, which is a lot more important than whether the nickname 'fits' as is evidenced by my many friends called something bizarre with no relation to their given name at all.

SleepWarrior · 24/07/2018 01:21

Miriam

MissLingoss · 24/07/2018 01:22

The Mimi I knew was short for Michelle.

PeggySchuylar · 24/07/2018 01:24

I know a Miriam known as Mim/s.

Lots of lovely names would work

Fivelittleduckies · 24/07/2018 01:26

Mimosa

AnotherRoadsideAttraction · 24/07/2018 01:27

Miriam.
Fabulous name and underused.

Fivelittleduckies · 24/07/2018 01:27

I also know a Melissa whose nickname is Mim/Mimi

andonandonitgoesadnauseum · 24/07/2018 01:27

Esme as it sounds most similar.

Fivelittleduckies · 24/07/2018 01:29

Out of your list I think Miriam works best with nickname Mimi

Imogene would be shortened to Immy which is also sweet

Fivelittleduckies · 24/07/2018 01:29

*Imogen even

Greenyogagirl · 24/07/2018 01:29

Emily?
