Mimi is the most common nickname for
Miriam here (but
Miriam is not a trendy name, so it's all relative) and many young people associate it with a certain mouse because me and my peers learned reading with "
Mimi die Lesemaus" which means "
Mimi The Reading Mouse". There was a book with a little story and pictures for each letter (with a picture of
Mimi on every page) and even a stuffed version of
Mimi in my first grade classroom :)
ETA: We didn't begin with the letter A but with the letter M, so we knew that was the letter
Mimi's name started with, lol.
