For one, if somones name is Emily why would you want to have the nn Mimi ? Emily is short enough! And Amelia , I have never heard of the nn Mimi coming from Amelia though I am sure it can happen! My real name is Diana and people would try to nn me either Deedee or Di, though Princess Di is my fav! But where would you get Deedee from Diana ? It isnt Deana but my point is that nn dont have to come from what your first name is. I have a friend who calls me banana or banana peal, his little sister calls me Dina and my husbands parent call me princess Di. And on here I use Gia Nadine ... nn's are just that nn's. How else would you get Dick from Richard ? It isnt in there!

My name is Emily and sometimes I am called Em. Peopel may choose whatever nae they liek for their children. Nicknames can be for anything. Liek you said- how does dick come from richard and how does jack come from john? No one knows. Why can;t mimi coem from Emily or Amelia ?

I didnt say the couldnt! I just said that just because it doesnt sound like it should come from it doesnt mean people cant have that nic name. Nic names are just that, they dont have to come from the name like Amelia ,SNL ,me myself and I, and you isisted! That is all I was saying! Also I wouldnt be proud to have a nic name like MIMI . I would rather use Amelia before Mimi , but each to there own!
