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

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.

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

My friend is called Kim-Marie but just uses Kim

It must be the same Kim-Marie, surely? It’s not a usual combination, like Anne-Marie.

Perhaps! PM what your Kim-Marie does for a job (very specific job) and let's see if it matches Wink

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