Comments for the name Kimberley

Comments for KIMBERLEY:

This is the name I will pick when I have a daughter. It's a beautiful name. Famous Kimberleys are: Kimberley Davies (actress), Kimberley Appleton (singer, Mel & Kim), Kim Metcalf (actress) just to name a few. However I am not keen on the shortened version of Kim.

Kimberley is the name of an area in South Africa where diamonds are mined. The rock diamonds come from is called Kimberlite, and is named for this place. This is my older sister's name also. She was named this because of the name's connection with diamonds. I rather like the name and it suits my sister well. I like it much better than my name (Amanda) or my other sister's name (Robyn). This spelling is also prettier than the traditional Kimberly.

Kimberley is also a village in Nottinghamshire in England, with a mention in the Domesday Book, and another village in Norfolk. The ten places called Kimberly in the US might account for that spelling being more common in the States.

I'll never be quite sure why; but I vastly prefer Kimberley to Kimberly. Kimberly looks far too... plain for me, perhaps. Kimberley comes easier to me.

My name is Kimberley and I really like it and I think it's a shame you do not hear names like this one anymore. I think Kimberley is one of those names that can suit a child, teen or an adult and it sounds feminine and elegant too.
