Just a straw poll really - would you say Mim-e or Me-Me?

I would say me-me, but if you don't like the alternative pronunciation and if it will annoy you if people mispronounce it I would think of a different name.

Mim-e

Interesting that the majority say me-me. I wanted to shorten DD's name to Mimi and pronounce it that way but at a mother and baby group one woman sniggered when I said it and said "I assume you mean Mimi". It's made me really self conscious now

me-me

Wouldn't occur to me that it could be any other way tbh

Tambajam · 08/06/2009 19:35

me-me for sure

Lubyloo · 08/06/2009 19:39

Greensleeves · 08/06/2009 19:42

Breizhette · 08/06/2009 19:49

me-me

hullygully · 08/06/2009 19:49

scottishmummy · 08/06/2009 19:52

me me

Tinasan · 08/06/2009 19:53

me-me. Must add though - my French mil is called 'mimi' by all her grandchildren, so it's also a French word for granny...

flamingtoaster · 08/06/2009 19:53

me-me

Wallace · 08/06/2009 19:53

My dd is shortened to Mimi (me-me) as is one of her friends who is an Imogen

I'd say Me-me (really like it), but I know a woman called Miriam who is definitely a Mimmy

Don't know why I'm stressing really as DC have decided her name is CC (or should that be Cece??)
