Mies
Miep
Miet
Mitzi
Etta
Ettie / Etty
Tetty
Fima, unless you're in the New Orleans area and bristle at the soundalike to FEMA :-P
Mimi
Mia
Amie
Fifi
Fizza (doesn't make a lot of sense but it is quirky and neat)
Fitta, Fita, Fetta (except for being a soundalike to the cheese)
Amet, Amets
Fim (I love -im like Mim or Pim)
Finja, Finia, Fitja
Metia, Metja, Metje
Fiat (a car isn't the worst thing to share a name with, I'm sure)
Imma
Imke
Mattie, Matty
Masha
