Desdemona
I just watched Othello with my brother. We read it in class last semester, but for some reason, Desdemona is jumping out at me now. Opinions? Preferred nicknames?

Love it!I have a big crush on the name Othello this week so I understand. :) Desdemona is gorgeous. I would use Desi as a nickname. I was also thinking that Desmona would be pretty as a full name. Don't know if it's legit or not though.

I like it. It's got serious chutzpah. I would NOT mess with a family that named their kid Desdemona. I'd probably shorten it to Dez or Dezzy, but I really like Mona. It just wouldn't happen, I know me.

Desdemona is devastatingly beautiful! I like Mona as a nickname.

Actually...I rather like it. I used to find it rather... well, I just didn't like it much, for a reason I don't know; but for some reason, I really love it now!I like the nickname Mona for it. ^^

I took a liking to that name while I read the play and watched the movie as well. I would imagine Des or Desi would be good nicknames.

I love Desdemona. It has such a dark and yet elegant, almost regal quality to it. It's beautiful. I can't think of any nice nicknames though. :(

I like it! Des, Mona, or Desdemone (Othello says Desdemone somewhere in the play, if I remember right...)
I wouldn't use it though. Now if she had taken Othello's sword and killed Iago, then she would be worthy of naming a kid after :P

That would've been an awesome plot twist!
