Help[Opinions] Re: Kimberly
in reply to a message by Lily8
I think it's neat in a 70's/80's name sort of way. Like Stacey or Stephanie. Plus it has a nice sound to it. I don't like Kimmy, but I think Kim is okay. I was friends with a really nice girl named Kim in college (which was short for Kimberly). I think she'd probably get called Kim a lot, but nothing that can't be fairly easily corrected.
I think it's dated, but a little later than the 60's (to me anyway). I'd imagine it still hangs around because of the -ly ending. Kimberly is my favorite spelling. I've never heard of the town Kimberley, but the association with diamonds isn't really a plus for a name for me.
I've known several Kimberlys my age (20's) throughout my life. I think all of them went by Kim. I don't know any of their middle names, except a guy I went to high school with and his wife just had a baby girl named Kimberly Lyn (which doesn't sound the greatest).
I can't see it getting more popular at all.
