Personal experiences with the name Mimmi: | Edit

This is my mum's name and I absolutely adore it!
It is unusual but very sweet.
Only thing is people tend to call her me-me, and it has happened so many times now that she doesn't even bother correcting people anymore!

I would definitely use it for one of my children if it wasn't for the fact that Jewish people do not name their children after the living, and I am hoping my mum has PLENTY more years to come! So I will just have to make do with it as a middle name :(
