Are you a Brit?

If so, can you help me pick a first name for a female (late 30's or early 40's) character in a work of fiction I'm writing? The name needs to fit a rather spunky, intelligent, adventurous, somewhat fearless by nature type who will be one of the two main characters in my book. She will be, more or less, a co-hero with the other main character, a male American. All suggestions considered.

Kimber.

@bijouxbroussard Is that short for Kimberly?

@frequentlyme I suppose. I have a friend from Kent, and I’ve never heard her use Kimberly. Even her father, when he visits, calls her “Kimber”. But [b]she[/b] sounds like your description. 😊

@bijouxbroussard Thanks! That's why I asked for Brits to answer - I want the character to be believable, and I think it takes a Brit to name a Brit that is believable.
