Obsessed with this name - my fav for a boy - I think it's classic yet underrated (for now) and SO HANDSOME. And nn Des/Desi I don't hate it :-)hoping this name doesn't get too popular before I have a little one of my own

I like it. Sounds French, sophisticated, and quite rare. It's also one of boy names starting with D- that I like. Good choice.

Love it. I went to school with a Desmond and I loved his name even as a kid. His best friend’s name was Leonard, and when I was young it never occurred to me how unusual both of their names were for our age group. Otherwise it was a sea of Matthews, Michaels and Jasons.

Wow, I much have ESP or something. I was litterly just thinking about this name earlier, and about responding to a post or creating one about it. So bizzareIt has a very handsome and somewhat quirky charm about it. A classic and strong name that is overwhelmingly rare where I'm from. (Not to say that popular names are bad or anything. This just makes it seem more special. Allows it to create more character, if you will) I like it, but not enough to use it. Although I think it's a very decent name (Also makes me think of the character "Desmond Hume" from LOST), I do prefer others over it. Plus I have a cousin named Desiree, so that wouldn't work out anyway. Des and Des. lol

I like it, not love it. I like some of the associations I have with it - Desmond Tutu, for example - but I don't completely love the sound.

I love Desmond! It is my third favorite name for boys and I think it could be higher! It is a beautiful name

"See you in another life, brother." God, such a great series. (: Desmond Hume is the first association that instantly comes to mind. (:

Desmond has a barrow in the market place, Molly is a singer with the band....

Yeah, yeah, yeah!And, as a name, Desmond is preferable to Molly.

Pretty sure it was tbe only time Desmond ever showed up in a song lyric, probably not so for Molly. It is my first thought always when hearing the name, though.
