I hate it, it sounds like maim + ee.

It feels a bit infantile, but it's still kind of nice. On it's own it is jus thg insubstantial. As a nickname it is warm and rich though young. I'd use it for Miriam or Marian.

I think it's absolutely dreadful. I was deeply disappointed to find that Charles Dickens's daughter Mary was known as Mamie - he was one of the greatest users of words in the history of history itself, and he willingly Did That! Even as a nn for May, it's unpleasant, and as a full name in its own right, it's just wrong.

Very sassy; I like it.

Don’t really like it, looks and sounds too much like “mommy” or “mami”.

There are plenty of nicknames for Margaret: Mar, Maggie, Marrie, etc. Mary already comes with a nickname, too: Mar.

For a long time, I thought it was the same as Mammy.
May-mee isn't really better, because it sounds like "maim me".

Comparatively, on a scale of 1 to 10...
Dixie is a -3.
Mamie is a 1.
Sadie is a 3.
Mimi is a 5.
Maisie is a 5.

I don't like it. It goes back and forth between too babyish and too "tough old broad". Although it was the nickname of Abraham Lincoln's granddaughter....hmmmm......nah.

I dislike it strongly.

I adore Mamie as a nickname! I think it's a bit too cutesy to stand on its own, though.

sorry dont like it
