I'm not a fan of
Kimberly at all. I'm actually surprised it's still so popular - it only exited the top 100 in 2013. I mentally lump it with names like
Brenda and
Angela and
Carrie in my mind. 70s names. I hadn't realized it had peaked in the 60s. Or that it had been the #2 name. I guess there's nothing wrong with
Kimberly, but it still makes me think of a 1970s/80s cheerleader.
I don't like
Kim, and I don't like the "burly" sound.
Kimmy is too sickly sweet.
Interestingly, the name Kimber has been rising on the popularity charts. I'm not a fan of that either.
I'd pair
Kimberly with a shorter middle name, since it's a longer first name:
