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)

I also know an adult Mimi who everyone knows by that name but her birth certificate confirms she is Amelia.

ElizabethinherGermanGarden · 24/07/2018 08:22

I had a Greek friend at university called Efthymia (spelling might not be quite right) which means 'good hearted' with sort of heroic overtones. I like that. It always seemed to me like a pretty name and the equivalent of being called MegaMind at the same time.

InDubiousBattle · 24/07/2018 08:23

I know a Maria who is Mimi as a nickname.

TatianaLarina · 24/07/2018 08:30

Imogen. Don’t like any of the others.

I think Jemima works best.
Cosima is often shortened to Mimi too.
