Mimi for short

Always loved mimi as a nickname/short name. Any ideas on longer versions - not quite enough of name on it's own, for me!

Thank you!

A friend at school was Mimi - her name
was Naomi.

My friend Mimi is a Miriam - gorgeous person, gorgeous name

I knew two people called Mimi. Both their full names were Miriam.

I have a baby girl Emilia who gets Mimi x

By the way, I have a Mimi. It’s not short for anything, it’s her full name. Although the name is a little one, its impact is big! I think quite a few people end up using it because it’s a bit more exciting than the real name. You might as well use a really thrilling full name if Mimi is going to be a NN. What about Marguerite? You could probably get away with anything starting with M, to be honest.

I know one who has it as a full name and one Mia who ends up being Mi or Mimi, I think its really cute!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 21/11/2020 23:52

Miriam.

Rockmehardplace · 22/11/2020 00:32

The only Mimi I know is short for Amelia.

I like the idea of it being short for Naomi

newnewnewbuild · 22/11/2020 00:33

The only mimi I know is an Amelia

DramaAlpaca · 22/11/2020 00:34

Cosima, like Nigella Lawson's daughter.

SE13Mummy · 22/11/2020 01:00

I think it works for any name that has the 'me' sound within it e.g. Emilia, Amy, Mia, Naomi, Noeme, Jamie/Jaime.

It's interesting to see so many posts suggesting it as a nickname for Miriam. The Miriams I know go by Miri or Mim if they don't use their full name.

MimiDaisy11 · 22/11/2020 08:23

I didn't know there were so many names that had this nickname. I have it with certain people and my name's Michelle.

The Mimi I know is short for Maia - and she's a sweetheart.

monoaaad · 22/11/2020 08:49

I know a Mimi who’s full name is Camilla

Lobsterquadrille2 · 22/11/2020 09:52

I have a Miranda and I don't think Mimi is an obvious abbreviation at all. Infinitely preferable to "Mandy" which she was called at school though. The two Mimis I know are both Jemima. One has a sister Imogen (also suggested here) who has always been Midge.

Chilldonaldchill · 22/11/2020 10:19

Jemima.
Miranda.
Emilia

OwlOne · 22/11/2020 10:21

Miriam
Marianne
Mirren

Oh Naomi or Noemi as a middle name are both beautiful.

Any name you like beginning with M with Noemi as a middle name (or Naomi)

Wanderdust · 22/11/2020 17:25

My aunt gets called that and she's Marie. Maybe Maria?

Pinkypink · 22/11/2020 19:15

I know one short for Miriam and one as a nn for Romy

kobo · 26/11/2020 11:44

I know two, one short for Hermione and the other Imogen.
