I kind of like it but I don’t know what it would be a nickname for.

Only I would think of this, but I think of how it started out as a nickname for Mary and how Abraham Lincoln's granddaughter Mary was called Mamie. That makes me kind of, sort of, halfway like it. At any rate, I prefer it to Mary.

It makes me think of someone's grandmother and Scarlett O'Hara's nanny.

I've never encountered it anywhere but naming sites. It strikes me as strange, because it reminds me of nothing but Mammy.

But I guess it's similar to Mimi and Mae? I think those are cute, for other people.

I adore it as a nickname.

It's very frumpy and sounds like a house servant. Mamie and Bessie and Hattie.

I really don't like it. It makes me think of mammary glands.

I don't like it at all, it's one of the few names I really can't see the attraction of.

I think Mamie is really cute! I've recently started to like it

I feel like I should like it, but all I can hear is ’maim’, which puts me off. Maybe if I heard it on an actual person.

Hi!

It sounds like something a kid would call their grandma.
