HelpRe: Kimberly
in reply to a message by Cayden
Kimberly is, for some reason, used by Spanish speaking parents. You can verify this if you look at the SSA's state data-- its in the top 100 in states with more Spanish speakers (Texas, New Mexico, California) and doesn't chart in most other states.

See, I assumed that as well.
I work at a school with a 90%+ Latino population, so I searched my school's database and we have zero Kimberlys in our 800 students - even the middle and high schools we feed into (over 5000 students between them) have only 6 Kimberlys between them. Maybe it's being used mostly by Mexican immigrants, as opposed to the Puerto Rican and Cuban population of Florida?

That is really interesting! It's not intuitively pronounceable in Spanish at all.
