[Opinions] Mamie
What do you think of Mamie and Mame? Normally I don't like nicknames as full names, but Mamie and Mame have really caught my eye as of late.
Do any combos come to mind? I'm starting to get boring--the only two I could come up with off the top of my head were Mamie Olivia and Mamie Juniper. After a bit more brain stretching, I got to Mamie Lucasta, but are they too different in style to work together?
(Obviously, I could never use either name, but they've both been growing on me a LOT lately. Isn't that irritating, when you start liking a name that sounds really similar to your own?)

I think Mamie is precious (now that is has outgrown the association with Dwight Eisenhower's wife) as a nickname for Margaret. I'm not sure if I can yet accept it quite yet as a name used on its own.
Mame doesn't do anything for me at the moment.
Mamie Olivia and Mamie Juniper are NMS, however now that you've mentioned Mamie, Mamie Grace has caught my attention.

I agree, Mamie does make me think of 'Gone With the Wind'. Either that or an affectionate name for a grandmother. There was a US president's wife named Mamie wasn't there? Oh yes, that's right Mamie Eisenhower : http://www.answers.com/topic/mamie-smith?hl=mamie
There was also a jazz singer named Mamie Smith: http://www.answers.com/topic/mamie-smith?hl=mamie
Mrs. Eisenhower's name was Mamie Geneva, what about that or Mamie Genevieve? Mamie Guinevere, Mamie Gwendolyn, Mamie Louise. It's a cute name, reminds me of Maisie, I think it would be cute when used as a nicname for Margaret or Mary but I don't like it as much as a fulltime name.
Mamie Lucia
Mamie Elise
Mamie Lavinia
Mamie Augusta
Mamie Ophelia
Mamie Jean
Mamie Josephine
Mamie Georgina

The fact that I've neither seen or read GWtW works in my favour, heh...(m)
You needn't worry about me actually using Mamie, just so y'all know. Having Amy and Mamie in the same house would be a nightmare.
I really like Mamie Augusta, Mamie Teresa, and Mamie Ophelia. Keep 'em coming--I've been searching everywhere, and I've yet to find a perfect choice. :)
