Rather than Grandma, Mimi is what all the grandkids call my mom.
If Mimi is a given name, I think her twin should have a name with the same light, sugary, old-fashioned-nickname feel. Essie and Dottie work well, and Grace and Opal are borderline. I'll also suggest Nan, Nettie, Hattie, and Nell/Nellie.
Jane, Rose, Alice, and Iris would work better as Mimi's twin if Mimi was short for something. "Miriam and Rose," let's say, or "Mary and Alice." Amelia and Iris would be gorgeous together.

Mimi reminds me of character (Mimi Labonq) from the British comedy 'Allo 'Allo! which takes place in France during the second world war. I've never been fond of the character which makes me go blah on the name. Despite that I can see the appeal, but I do think she needs a full name! Amelia "Mimi"
Mimi & Essie is my favourite twinset (Amelia & Esther as full names)

I really dislike it. It's too cutesy and won't grow with your daughter.
Out of your twin options, I'd go with Alice. That's one of my favourites and at least it's mature and versatile.
