Desmond is very nice, I do think of the Beatles song but also I think of Desi Arnaz. I don't like the nn Desi though.

I like it

I Love It.

obla-di, obla-da!

This name makes me think of the Beatles' song from the white album, which tells the story of Desmond and his girl Molly (who is a singer in a band). It's a great song so I guess I wouldn't mind being reminded of it...

I like it but would never use it personally.

---

Desmond Michael sounds very nice.

Desmond is ridiculous and effeminate.

I love Desmond - it makes me think of Paul Desmond, the saxophone player. In fact, if I were to use the name it would be because of him. Desmond Michael is fine. Michael is super-boring to me, but if it's honoring someone then I don't have a problem with it.

I love it

It is a family name for me and one of my best friends back home in Ireland is named Desmond. Its a strong name IMO but I don't think I like it enough to use it myself

I love the name Desmond, it's a favorite of mine. It has a handsome, sophisticated sound. I also really like the similar sounding name Esmond / Esmund.

Desmond Michael is nice.

---

Edited to add: Just saw that two others suggested Desmond Hugh which I just love. Hugh is another favorite of mine and I often consider Desmond Hugh or Hugh Desmond : )

All I can think of is the "Life Goes On" song.

Well, I like it.

---

I like Desmond and the combo isn't bad.

I really like Desmond. I don't like Michael with it, though.

---

I second Desmond Hugh. I think that sounds very nice.

I think Desmond is horrible, sorry.

---

:)

I think it's quite handsome.
Rowland has a similar feel to me.
I cannot advocate Michael, even if it's honoring, as it's the most boring name ever to me. Desmond William? Desmond Hugh? Desmond Paul? Desmond Joseph? Desmond Philip? Desmond Luke?

---

My favorite of those is Desmond Hugh.

I find Desmond just SO handsome! It's been on my list for quite some time now. Desmond Michael is fabulous, but I just think Michael is a bit bland for me. It's a lovely name, though. Here's some more combos.

Desmond Emmerich
Desmond Friedrich
Desmond Jean
Desmond Patrick

I really like Desmond... I used to love it, but have grown off of it a little over the past year or so.

Desmond is really "Rafael-ish" to me. I don't like Rafael, it's too pretentous and "putting on airs" is running through my mind.
