We're thinking about getting a bunny, and my sister and I love Kiki or Meimei as a name! I happen to like Nari best, but we'll probably end up going with Kiki or Meimei. I love the name Kiki because of Kiki's Delivery Service! It's also a great nickname for a ton of names. The bunny would probably just be Kiki, though.
My first name is Kyriaki as a family name. In my childhood, my parents use to call me Korina instead. In Greece, most nick names for Kyriaki are Kiki and Koula but they sound like old fashioned nick names. Since I have moved to England, people used to call me Kiki, Carrie or Kyra, so I picked the Greek old fashion one Kiki. I have to say, it doesn't sound so bad to my ears anymore :)
This is cute. If it's your full name, that's cool-- Kiki stands out and has some character to it, unlike some other names. I don't tend to think names sound "trashy"--the person makes the name.
My name is Kiki, and I quite disagree with some of the people who think it's a bad name. I have been very successful in life and my name has never interfered with anything. I really like my name (and no I'm not someone who couldn't keep my legs together), it's a great conversation starter. I'm not saying everyone has to like the name, I just think some people should have a bit more respect instead of making fun of it.

Look guys... My name is Kiki and I've lived with it my whole life. If you can't take someone seriously just because of their name you clearly wouldn't be able to respect other cultures. It's disheartening to think that someone would treat me as a slut just because my name doesn't "sound serious". :(
I feel sorry for the poor little girls in the Netherlands who are given this as a legal name.

I'm sorry, but Kiki is such a trashy, horrible name. As a nickname, it can be cute for the first 6 years, but on anyone older than about 12 it makes me think of a ditz who well... let's just say, can't keep their legs together. Plus it was used on the tv show Dollhouse as the name of an airheaded college girl sleeping with her professor, played by Eliza Dushku and Enver Gjokaj (his portrayal of Kiki is about the only redeeming part of this name; it's hilarious. And no, 'his' wasn't a typo. It makes sense in context.)
I'm half Samoan and my Samoan family calls me this. It means kick in Samoan but they use it as my name. It's not my real name but my mum just calls me this. My dad however is European and calls me by my proper name Didi, which comes from the Dutch side of my family. Yeah I don't really like Kiki. I can only think of Kiki Palmer :/ Yeah my mum used to call me Didi like everyone else. But when she's mad at me (which is very often now haha) she yells KIKI. And it's said like Gee-ki. All my cousins call me Kiki. Ugh.

I love this as a nickname for names such as Kirsten, Christine and Katherine.

Haha. I watched Kiki's Delivery Service with a friend of mine a while ago, and we always made fun of it, so now if I ever met anyone with that name, I wouldn't be able to talk to them without cracking up.
I've always loved the name Kiki, but I've never met anyone who has it. I think it's really cute, and if I ever get a female cat or dog then I'll name them that. :) Of course, I might be biased since I'm a huge Miyazaki fan (director of Kiki's Delivery Service, a favorite childhood movie of mine), but anyway. Yeah. Love this name.
Bad name, it is only good for like the first 18 years then it becomes bad, just like most of the popular names that were wildly invented. Parents should go to the older names because those are the ones you can have from start to finish.
I always heard this name as a nickname for Kiara. And, by the way, I can see a Grandma Kiki. She'd be one of those fun grannies who makes lots of fudge and swing dances on Thursdays.
My name is Ciara, and Kiki has been my petname for the whole of my life! When I looked up my name Ciara (keer-ah) KiKi was associated as being the common nickname. It's so cute and simple don't you think?
