ArchivesRe: Mimmy
in reply to a message by PrincessZ
I'm thinking of an American author, Miriam Cohen, who wrote several stories about her childhood using her nickname, Mimmy. So in some cases Mimmy may be a diminutive of Miriam.
I had a neighbor named Miriam who went by Mimi, but in English I would not expect Mimmy to be pronounced like Mimi.

This.
Mim is a common nickname for Miriam and I can see it being turned into Mimmy.
