Mčimei in Pinyin. The first "mei" is a high to low tone and the second "mei" is neutral (de-emphasized and shortened). The Chinese characters are: 妹妹 (literally means: little sister little sister). Often with children the first word of their given name is repeated as a term of enderment. Also, the Chinese are very into word plays and multiple meanings. Thus you could use the word for beautiful, Mĕi, in a name with, for example, Lán (orchid 兠). So the full name would be Mĕi Lán and a term of enderment for the child could be Mĕi Mči (beautiful little sister), a word play on the term for little sister.
Mĕi means beautiful (媠) and is a falling then rising tone.
