I know a girl called Mimi
It's her full name, and she's Chinese. I don't really like it as a first name, because it just doesn't sound serious enough. I can picture it on a baby or toddler, but on a grown woman it's out of place in my opinion for an English speaking person.

I don't like it as a full name, sorry. I just really couldn't imagine a grown up with this name.

I think it's too cutesy for either a nickname or a full name.

"MEE-mee"
Mimi is immature and sickly sweet as a full name.
As a nn it's retro chic. It's a bit off beat.
I am bias as it's a nn I get for Naomi. So it could be a nn for any name with 'mi' spelling or "MEE" sound.

It's a nickname
I don't think Mimi would make a good full name. My parents intended to call me Mimi (pronounced mee-mee), but I thought it sounded old and grandmotherly and put a stop to that when I reached age five, and decided to go with my real name. A girl w/ the full name Mimi doesn't have that luxury. As a nickname for something substantial, it could be really cute and retro feeling. But it should only be a nickname.

Mimi is okay I guess. It's a cute nn but as a full name I think its lacking.
Also for me it doesn't pass a test I have to see if I can take a name seriously. I can't imagine a Dr. Mimi Smith so I have to say no.
I would say mee-mee

Adorable as a NN, but it's too cutesy on its own. I've never heard it any way other than Mee-mee.
On its own, it makes me think of Mimi Marquez.

Mimi is what I call my grandmother so I have trouble seeing it as a full names and on a child. I've only heard it pronounced mee-mee.

not as a full name
It sounds like baby talk, like what a baby might call her grandmother. It can be kind of cute as a nn, like for Mary or Miriam, but only very informally.

I've loved Mimi ("mee-mee") for years. I prefer it as a nn, but I'd even take it on its own.
For years my female sibset was: Elsa, Mimi, Noe"l ("no-EL") and Anna. I had a four letter thing going.
I'd use Mimi as a nn for: Mary / Marie / Maria / Miriam, Artemisia, Emilia, Miranda, Jamila, Camellia, Camille, Wilhelmina, Yasmin / Yasmine, Mileva, Myfanwy, etc.
