[Opinions] Desmond?

Yesterday, we accidently discovered that baby number 2 is a boy. Our 2 year old is Fletcher Isaiah. I'm wondering what you think of Desmond and what middle names you think go well with it? Are there other names that you think go well with Fletcher's?So far we've considered:
Desmond Paul (Paul is mn of each grandpa)
Desmond Jacob (Jacob is my brother-in-law, great with Flether and an all around nice guy)
Desmond Joel (Joel is hubby's 1st name)I'm not in love with any of the combos...Thanks!

I LOVE Desmond and I think it sounds wonderful as a brother to Fletcher. :) My vote would be for Desmond Paul--can't pass up honoring two Grandpa's with one kid. LOL. Desmond Jacob would also be nice. I like the sound of Desmond Joel, but I personally wouldn't name a 2nd son after dad, even if it's just the mn. My thought is that the first son should be named after dad, or none at all. Just seems odd, like wasn't the first child good enough to be named after dad? Maybe this is just my warped thinking. :b Congrats & good luck with boy #2.

Desmond is very handsome, and if you both like it, I'd definitely hold onto it. :)Array
