Another (Australian) source . . .
in reply to a message by Miranda
Is the Kimberley (also the Kimberleys), a region in Western Australia. I know of at least one boy (historically) named after this region. This may have contributed to its modern popularity in Australia. The spelling also might explain why Kimberley is more popular than Kimberly in Australia
(. . . although that's doubtful as 'ey' is always more popular than straight 'y' in Australia.)
