DH really loves the name Desmond but I've never really been a fan. Especially because everyone would call him Dez or Desi. But lately I've been warming up to it a little. It's not common nor trendy, not classical but it's established... pretty much just my style. So, WDYTO Desmond? Desmond Kincaid?

I adore it because of jazz musician Paul Desmond. We did a lot of work with Desmond and Brubeck's stuff in jazz band a couple years ago, so it has a lot of positive connotations for me. Desmond Kincaid sounds fine, but I don't really love Kincaid.

I recently fell in love with Desmond. It’s strong, uncommon, masculine it’s a really great pick. Desmond Kincaid is nice but, I’m not a fan of Kincaid.

I like the name Desmond. It reminds me of Desmond Tiny or "Destiny" from Cirque de Freak. But not that many people have read that series.

I don't like Kincaid. Is it a family surname?

Desmond makes me think of The Beatles song Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da.
I prefer Desmond to Esmond, but prefer Edmund to both of them.

Desmond Kincaid is a fine combo, if nms--the names go well together. :)

I love the name Desmond! It's one of my favorites and it has a great sound to it. Another similar sounding name that I love is Esmond.

I'm not sure if Kincaid is the middle name or the surname, but Desmond Kincaid has a nice sound.

I like Desmond but prefer it as a middle name

I like it, though I prefer it as a MN. It seems very dignified.
