For a hypothetical second DD - I love Kim, but not keen on Kimberly. Are there any alternatives?

Kimbra like the singer?

It has to be Kimberley said in the style of the late great Victoria Wood surely?

It must be the same Kim-Marie, surely? It’s not a usual combination, like Anne-Marie.[/quote]
Perhaps! PM what your Kim-Marie does for a job (very specific job) and let's see if it matches Wink

Kim in the book was short for Kimball. But he was a boy.

Mockolate · 12/03/2021 21:27

Surely if you like the name Kim, just call her Kim?
Can only think of Kimberly, so if you don't like that you're a bit stuck lol.
