Reminds me of those creepy puppets (marionettes)...

No way! It's more fitting for an over-the-top cartoon character. The first thing it brings to my mind is mignon steak.

I'd have a hard time adjusting to using it for a person because I know it basically means "sweetie" and the only way I say/hear/see mignon IRL is "filet mignon".It mainly seems very stylized like Curly or Honey but more awkward because I think almost exclusively of meat. And also marionette.But it has ok NN potential, and I think it's nice that it's also a flower.

I think it's a really cute middle name, doesn't work as a first name though.

It's a sauce. It also sounds a bit ridiculous. So no, not a fan.

It would be really cute on a pet.I'm made to think of Mouchette, which I can't not adore.

It’s very silly sounding, more like the show name of a burlesque dancer than a real person ‘s.

It's ok. I appreciate the absolute over-the-top ridiculousness of calling a child "little darling" or whatever it translates as, but I prefer just Mignon, which has a cutesy meaning but looks pretty sturdy.

It's cute for a pet, especially a toy dog or a cat. It seems a little too cutesy for a person to me.

I like it, it's the MN of Princess Mia in The Princess Diaries book and movie series so I have positive associations with it. Not everyone would be able to pronounce it at the drop of a hat so it is theoretically better in the middle spot but that is me
