Re: Gigi, Fifi, Mimi...
in reply to a message by Rosamund Catherina
Fifi has always been the name of a French poodle to me. I tend to like the others though, purely as nicknames (although when I was about 11 I went through this phase were I LOVED Kiki on its own, idk). Currently I am loving Cece for Cecilia. Gigi as a nickname for Georgia and it's variants, and Ginevra, has always been a love. I never thought of Mimi for Miriam, but it is adorable. I also really love Bebe for Beatrice/Beatrix, Vivi for Vivian or Genevieve, and Leelee (although I can never pin a spelling, they tend to look like butcherings of Lily) for Leonora or Liliana.
