I dislike Desiree, it sounds tawdry and viscerally, in-your-face flirtatious. I'd pair it with something old-fashioned, like:
Desiree Agnes
Desiree Florence
Desiree Frances
Desiree Hester
Desiree Prudence
Desiree Sibyl
Desiree Tamsin

I really really like it, though I prefer it spelled as Désirée. As a general rule, I enjoy French names a lot and I could definitely use it in real life.

It’s kind of tacky, and the one person I met with this name was a mean girl/ bully type of person.

It’s very pretty! And I have a friend with this name.

I think it's cute with some good nickname potential. I prefer to spell it Desirae to lessen the "desire" effect when you look at it written.

It never suggests anything sexual to me; my friend since we were both six years old was named Desiree by her parents, who had really wanted a child. She is mostly known as Des, but I'm allowed to call her Daisy sometimes! I would like the name less if not for her, but even now I wouldn't use it - there are just so many names I like better.

I like Désirée with the accent marks. It looks fancy. ☺️

I'm not sure why I like this name. It just sounds cool and nice, plus it's a royal name in Sweden.

Potato is my first association.
I agree with RoxStar about it being off-pityingly sultry. I really don’t like it but can’t quite put my finger on why it’s such a strong dislike.

I once knew a Desiree (come to think of it, she might've been Desirae, I don't quite remember). She was the older sister of a classmate and went by "Dezi," and she she seemed so cool when I was a little kid. That's what the name Desiree is to me: "cool." She's a rock star. She's Kim Gordon in a leather jacket backstage before a show, dragging on a cigarette.

My response regarding a similiar post back in March:

"This is a name that I am VERY familiar with since I have a cousin named it (From a direct aunt, both of whom I grew up with) So needless to say, I immediately associated the name with her. I think it's a pretty nice name, has an attractive and beautiful, almost 'exotic' vibe to it. I like that it's a bit different from the usual you hear but isn't strange or outlandish."

Some combo ideas:

---

Desiree Rose
Desiree June
Desiree Robin
Desiree Jasmine
Desiree Alice
Desiree Ida
Desiree Charlotte
Desiree Mara
Desiree Mira

It's very pretty, though in a slinky, glamorous way that is a bit off-putting. I'd group ith with names like Justine and Dominique and Simone. Very femme fatale, even though Desiree is pretty common in the US.

I think it makes a better mn than fn.

I like that you could use Desi as a nickname.

I think it's ok. Mn Alice, Bianca Chelsea Chantal Charlotte Imogen Genevieve Josephine Juliet Lauren Laura Miranda Ruby Vivienne Vanessa
