As someone who's name is Mimi reading these comments really sucked because I love my name. Even though I'm not a cat or dog I can still be called Mimi and I'm not changing my name just because I'm older than a kid's age.

All I think of is-- Mi-mi-mi-mi-miiii... a singing telegram, I'll sing it really well!
Anyway, I only think of the song "A Singing Telegram" from The Backyardigans, a now-ended cartoon that began in 2004.

My actual name is Emily which I don't like much because of how common it is and because of the meme behind the name. ("Omg Emily you're such a crackhead" -_-). My nickname has been Mimi since I was a toddler actually. So one meme to the other I guess because sometimes people call me Memes. My mum calls me it too or Moo moo (She calls me Emily when I'm in trouble T-T). "Memes" doesn't bother me because they don't say it as a mean thing. People on here have been saying it's not a mature name but as others said, maturity is based on the person not the name. Anyway I'm biased but I think it's a good name and I felt special in primary school because no one else was called Mimi. (Side note: my little sister calls me Mimi the Meany whenever I refuse to play with her XD She also didn't know my real name was Emily till a little while ago lol)
Anyway I've always wanted to legally change it to Mimi but after reading some of these comments maybe it's better just as a nickname. 0-0.

My nickname is Mimi. I love it so much, I don't let anyone call me by my given name. My friends have come up with several affectionate nicknames for my nickname, including Memes, M&M, Mini, and Emmi. Whenever someone makes fun of my nickname, I say to them, "Would you rather call me Quetzalxochitl?" That shuts everyone up; my ace card.

We have never gotten a bad comment about her name. We do get asked if it's a nickname but other than that it's all compliments.

I can't help but think of Rent when I hear this name. Her name was mentioned in 90% of the songs. Not that this is a bad thing, because I do have an obsession with the name Maureen, which this could be a nickname for. My feelings towards this name are pretty neutral.

I honestly cannot BELIEVE what people are saying about this name!
"It sounds like a dog's name!"
I see this name more commonly with humans than with dogs. It could be either, you wouldn't stop naming kids Molly because it's a common dog name, would you?
"It sounds like the name of a selfish spoiled little girl!"
Just because it is literally pronounced "Me Me"? I honestly didn't even think this until it was harshly pointed out. Your name does not define your personality!
"It's a cute name for a little girl, but it isn't mature enough to be an adult name. People won't take you seriously."
Once again, whether you are taken seriously or not does NOT rely on your name! While it does sound like a little girl's name, it is a very pretty name for all ages.
I am extremely sorry for my ranting. I love this name and I think it is beautiful! Anyone with this name is super lucky! It's not that common either!

Well I have a beautiful daughter who is 6 years old and she is called Mimi. Many people might not like it but I think its perfect for her. People assume that it's a nickname but Mimi is her real name I it couldn't suit her any more. There is nobody in her whole school called that and she feels special. I think when she is an adult it will age with her. Whether she will be taken seriously or not will be more about how she conducts herself as an adult.

"Mimi" is primarily a diminutive of the name Miriam, and not of Maria.
Maria is such a common name that it is assumed to be the origin of a number of other names such as Miriam, Mariam, and so forth, but at least in the case of Miriam and Maria, I believe they are very different names.

In Australian Aboriginal mythology, a "Mimi" is a fairy-like being from Arnhem Land folklore. They have extremely long, thin bodies and are said to have taught the local Aborigines how to hunt, prepare kangaroo meat and use fire. They are like humans, but from another dimension.
Their name may come from the song of a zebra finch.
In Australia, girls called Mimi may be named after these indigenous fairies rather than being short for Maria, Miriam etc. It is pronounced MEE-MEE.

I kind of like this as a nickname for Amelia, but I would only use it when the girl was young. I don't think it will age very well. So thumbs up for Mimi as a nickname, but at least give the child something to fall back on if they choose to have a more "mature" sounding name later.

My cousin's name is Naomi, and since we were little everyone's always called her Mimi (I think because when we were little Naomi was too hard to pronounce? Although her sister's name is Nicole but everyone calls her Nikki so it could just be their family likes nicknames). So I get a very positive impression from this name, and am a bit offended that people would suggest the name is "snobby" and "self-given", because I know for a fact that I didn't even realize my cousin's real name was Naomi until I was at least ten, because everyone ALWAYS called her Mimi.
One really shouldn't assume without a reason. It could just be a nickname from a longer name that happens to end in "-mi".

I didn't like the name at first, but it grew on me. It's so cute and feminine, and even the sound is cute. Isn't it also sometimes used as a form of Mariah? I do think it's better as a nickname than a first name though, as it's SO cute that it only fits certain people.

I agree that Mimi is usually a name that a girl gives to herself. I know a girl called Aimee who calls herself Mimi. She isn't very nice and is selfish so I guess "me me" is appropriate! Don't call your daughter this name!
