[Opinions] Nickname
What kind of nickname would you give someone named Mary? I was thinking 'Immi' or something but I'm not so sure...

I don't think it needs one. Personally, I think any nicknames should come naturally.May is cute, though.

Why would you need a nickname? The name is short enough as it is.

I wouldn't, personally, bother with a nn for Mary--it's quite short by itself.But, if you do prefer using a nn, how about:
Molly
Polly
Mimi
Mair
Mare
May
Mae
Meg
Mo
Mamie
Mimi
Masha
Maja
Mia
Mitzi
Macy
Maisy
MaryaI'm not fond of Immi, though. It doesn't really sound like it comes from Mary, IMO.(Edited to add a few more.)

I hardly think Mary needs a nn, but my mom's name is Mary and my dad calls her Mare. That's the shortest it can get imo.

Mary need a NN? It's a two syllable name made of four letters; I think you're stretching! But anyway, Mimi and Mitzie would be kind of cute. Mitzie is traditionally used for Marie, but close enough.

I'd go with Molly, or maybe Mia or Ria? possibly.
