No, it doesn't rhyme with Kimberly, it's just similar. The beginning is pronounced like the beginning of Emma, not with an "i" sound.
but I guess I partially take it back, not easy for everyone to spell or pronounce :/
In some places 'em' and 'im' will be pronounced the same. Come on down south and ask someone for a 'pin' and they will give you a writing tool. Emma is pronounced more like Imma so with Emberly people might think it rhymes with Kimberly. I'm a yankee so my enunciation is more precise but I had to learn to be careful listening to short e's and i's down here. If someone asks if you want 'hip' they aren't asking you to boogie, they mean 'help'.

I don't have enough fingers and toes for the number of times I have been called "Imily"

Thanks for the explanation. That pronunciation would annoy me! No offense to southerners!
Not a fan of trendy or "invented" names, myself. Don't like the trend of giving names weird spellings by substituting y's and i's for each other, etc. People should also be fined at least $5,000 for naming their kid "Nevaeh."

Great news! My wife and I had a baby girl last week. I just want to post to thank you all for your opinions on baby names.
We chose to name our baby girl Gretchen Joi.
