Ok, so I work in a shop and earlier today a woman comes in with three kids.
When I was serving her, the little girl came up and asked for something.
The womans reply 'Of course Miami.'

I'm sorry...WHAT?

Her son was called something very normal like Mike, I think it was. It definatly began with 'M' though.

Edit: This is in a quiet little border town in South Wales!

Tee hee...Miami!

It could be "mami", a popular pet/nick name. I have Latino coworkers who use it with their young children all the time.

But she was Welsh...
I so hope it was though!

Ah, got me then!

Yes, it's kind of a baby-talked version of "mi amor"

I hope so, but it didn't sound like she did!

Neat icon.

Thank you!

I kind of like it, actually. Much more interesting than Mike. :)

I believe I heard that on television once. A little strange.

It could have been Mamie also. But Miami would be funny!

Ugh...Miami?..please.

That's JUST as bad as "Kalifornia".
