I've always liked the name Kimi, even though it feels more like a nickname and something that doesn't fit an adult well. So, I'm interested in finding a more formal name so that Kimi could be used as a nickname. Besides Kimberly (eh, so common) and Kimber (which I don't like), any other suggestions?

How bout Kimbly (kim-blee)? For first or middle, doesn't matter. I like it, but at the same time it feels like someone misspelled Kimberly. (And I'd be amused if anybody knew where that name came from. A lot of my LJ friends would know, but I bet a small handful of people outside LJ would have an idea, which is the only reason I'd even think of it)

I really dislike Kimbly. It sounds like dog food--sorry. I hate Kimber as well, and they both sound made up.

I think Kimberly (or Kimberley) is... probably the best option, or just Kim. There are a lot of Japanese name you could derive Kimi from, like Kumiko, etc., but you could also just use Kim, or even Kimi, as a middle name, and use it as a nickname. I always like that option because then, if the kid wants something more "mature", she has her first name.

Kimbly as a dog food? I don't see it, but that's funny XD I don't like Kimber as well, it looks like they ran out of ink while writing Kimberly.

I never knew, but am not surprised, that Kimberly is a city is South Africa. I have a feeling most other Americans won't either. I couldn't be the only one who dazed out during geography XD
