Thanks for everyone's input. Unfortunately, I am not really into any of those names. I think Mariah Carey goes by Mimi... or at least that is what her album is called.

I had a cat named Emily and I called her Mimi sometimes.

I think Mimi is really cute nn but I would be careful. DD's grandma goes by Mimi as her grandma name which is pretty common at least in the South.

I think you could get away with using Mimi as nn for almost any "M" name.

Really I think it can be used for nearly and name beginning with "M". Or even some with M in them.

The two that I know that often go by Mimi are Megan and Mila.

I like this background. It makes it seem like Mimi can stand on it's own. Thanks

I grew up with the nickname Mimi. My first name is Michelle. My last name also starts with an M so my initials were MM - as in MiMi. 

I knew two other Mimi's growing up. Miriam and Mary Michelle.
