Kimberly

Where I live, there is a town named Kimberley. Kimberly always looks like a spelling mistake to me, but then, so does Beverly. Kimberly is unattractive to me and inconveniently long, and I dislike trite Kim. So that would leave Lauren; I would use Laura, personally.

I prefer Lauren, but both are nice

I guess Lauren is better, but both names are devoid of personality for me.

I've know many Laurens and all of them have been the same brand of tall, brown-haired shy girl for some odd reason. I remember my (now) best friend and I talked about it in 2010 when we both met yet another Lauren in our lives. However, before that point, my best friend and I hadn't known each other. Yet, there we were having a conversation about how all Laurens have looked and behaved the same in our lives

I've often wondered how universal our local brand of Laurens have been

---

Meanwhile I've only known one Kimberly

I think because of that, Lauren seems like quite the boring name in comparison - a bit over used and bland. It's nice, don't get me wrong, but I do prefer Kimberly. However, I think I'd use Lauren over Kimberly in real life. It'd be a middle name use, though

Lauren is better, but I don't hate Kimberly, if only for Kim. Kim is accessible and friendly, and cool. I have always liked it.

Lauren is prettier, though, and a bit more grown-up than Kimberly.
