The difference is similar to the one between again and "again and again", over and "over and over" and so on. Repeating the same word, you can put an emphasis on the phrase what you want to express.

@codetrekkie I don't think it is uncommon for men. It depends on the situation where you use nani-nani and the accent, tone and so on. I personally would not use nani-nani in ordinary life, but I with some times see nani-nani used in comics. I think people in real life barely use nani-nani, and that's why using nani-nani overly in real scenes could give something funny nuance to the conversation like cracking a joke, making fun of someone.
Just give you an example.
Your partner: 話があるの（We need to talk）.
You: なになに？
The more serious your partner is, the more feelings being made fun he or she gets and vice versa.
