Baby name MIMI

[Livvielo]

After some honest opinions. I love the name Mimi, my husband likes it but as a nickname. I plan on calling her Mimi from day one, so is there any point giving her a different full name if that isn’t what she’s known by? Obviously both my husband and I do have to agree when it comes to names, so we are both after some outside input from people that won’t sugar coat the truth, so as not to upset us. the only name I like that we could use to get Mimi as a nickname is Amelia. Any other suggestions welcome.
We are expecting our 3rd girl. Our daughters names are Hannah and Louisa.

Mimi as a name in itself is just awful. Please don’t.

Go with Jemima, it's perfect with your other girls and you can get Mimi from it. Win win!

Love Jemima

Instantly makes ms think of Mimi Maguire - Tina Malone. No.

No, just no

Go for Jemima or Miriam; they're a good fit for your other DDs' names and give a number of nickname options, Mimi included.

I know a Naomi, nicknamed Mimi. Also love Jemima and Miriam.

I vote Jemima with the nickname Mimi! Love it.

Miriam, Amelia, Naomi ( mimi ) x

Love it as a nick name for Miriam. Mimi is gorgeous but there are situations where I might prefer to say ''hello I'm Miriam''.

Jemima is such a gorgeous name. Pretty and unusual, sweet for an infant and dignified enough for an adult. And Mimi is an adorable nickname for it.

Jemima is better. X

Love it! Jemima sounds perfect with your other names

Mimi is horrendous!

I know a Michelle nicknamed Mimi. Nice as a nickname, not so much as a given name. Hannah and Louisa are gorgeous!

I know a Mimi in her late 40s. Its her real name. Shes absolutley lovely. Ive jever considered it not being a "real' name. It suits her perfectly, she has a professional job in banking so it has never had an impact on the way she is viewed.
I like Amelia as a name .
I also know of a Michelle known as Mimi on account of the fact children called her that and it stuck.

Jemima with your ( beautiful btw) girls' names is perfect @Livvielo
Result !

My nickname is Mimi but I do think it's very much a nickname and not great as a full name. Especially next to Hannah and Louisa which are strong and timeless, Mimi is a bit cutesy and insubstantial as a full name (but again, lovely as a nickname).

I've seen Mimi either used, or suggested, as nicknames for:

Jemima
Hermione
Aimee
Miriam

(One of these is my name )

I work with a Mimi. I always just assumed that was her full name. I like it, and it really suits her!

Ooh, and Naomi! Like a PP said.

I really think I'd feel sorry for a baby Amelia, who had siblings named Hannah and Louisa. Hannah and Louisa are uncommon and strong and classy whereas Amelia is so common to the point of being horribly boring these days, it has a weak, nasally sound, and it would be almost like she's being named carelessly in comparison to Hannah and Louisa! (Which are interesting and lovely choices, whereas every second child under 10 is an Amelia these days). I also think Mimi isn't a natural nickname for Amelia - most Amelias I know either go by the full name or 'Milly'.

Jemima, Miriam, and Naomi are both perfect with the other sibling names as they're also strong and classic and biblical and timeless unlike Amelia.

Please choose Jemima, Miriam or Naomi! (I am so emotionally invested in this for some reason 😂 I think because I love sibling names Hannah and Louisa!)

Mimi is dreadful.

I love Jemima! I had to call my dog Jemima as kept having boys!
I went to school with a 'Mercedes' known as Mimi.
Also Naomi would naturally slip into Mimi I think.

I love Mimi as a nickname. Another option for her full name would be Amelie, which I think is even more beautiful (and where I live) less popular than Amelia.

Nigella Lawson's daughter Cosima is nicknamed Mimi.

I think it's a lovely BC name, or pet name and I'm very hard to please with names.

Mimi is bloody awful. Your husband is right.

Miriam is a great name.

Jemima is Puddleduck or Goldsmith, to me. It's posh and smug.
