Notes on being a Mimi

This is more of a warning than anything. If you so choose to name your child Mimi or a name with the corresponding nickname Mimi, beware of what your child will endure any time she meets new people (specifically in a group setting):

• This is funny, because the person saying it is trying to not be offensive!
  

"Oh that name reminds me of this really funny lady on this really funny show!"
"The Drew Carey Show? Mimi?"
"Yeah how did you know?"
"Uhm, I've seen the show. And I dressed like her once for Halloween!"

• "Your name is MIMI???? OMG, That's what I call my Gramma!"
• ♫♪Mi-mi-mi-MIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!♫♪

• "OMG! have you ever seen the movie/show RENT? OMG, it's the best! The main character is Mimi!! Your name CANNOT be MIMI MARQUEZ!!! (insert the mimi song for the next 20 minutes)

It's fun to play along! However, when the singing doesn't stop - God SPARE US! Wow.
