What could Kim be short for?

[Zarinea]

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

Why not just call her Kim? (I have a single-syllable name and really rate them)

Kimjongila
Kimberella
Kimball
Kimkardashiana

Not sure you’re on to a winner there OP but Kim is a name in its own right, so just go with that.

I have a cousin called Kim. Just Kim. Why does it need to be short for something?

Kim could work just on its own, but I had a great aunt called Kimmie because her initials were KIM - Kathleen Iverna Mary. Maybe you can find three names you like with those initials?

Kimi
Kimiko

(Sorry, couldn't resist!)

Seriously, there is a character called Kimball in the Netflix show designated Survivor - I thought it was a really cool name!

Because one day Kim will be a High Court Judge and needs a name that offers lots of potential for nn.

I like it because it is simple. Kimberley is too frilly and seems dated.

Watch the surname and middle name though as it's a popular surname.

I used to work with a kimba, pronounced kimbar she was lovely

I too have a single syllable name. Never gets shortened. Some try to lengthen it though.

My mum is called Kim Joan.... but the vicar made a mistake and christened her Kim Jon....honestly. I think it's a bit old fashioned but maybe that's because my Mum is 62. But ai do think it's just best on it's own if you go for it.

Kimbuctu?

Kim Davidson?

Kimnicebutdim?

Kimsum?

I’ve definitely seen Kimora

Kimberella! Is that a name?! I bloody love it! But wouldn’t call a child it, though....

Just Kim is fine. It’s a name.

Kimbelina is what I used to call my friend called Kimberley!

Kimothy Kimothee Kimothie many spelling options!

Kim Jong-il

Just watch the first 15 seconds:
