Ah!
Desmond is the name my husband and I have picked out for our future son.
I knew a boy named
Desmond growing up, and he was SUPER weird, and kind of mean, and he was the only
Desmond I've ever met. Because of him, I never thought anything really positive about the name.
Later, I began watching Lost as well, and hearing the name
Desmond over and over again made me realize just how much I like the sound of the name. Not to mention the amazing namesake of
Desmond Tutu...
I love the name so much now, and it just feels like the perfect name for our first son. I love the nicknames
Des and
Desi. I also can see myself calling him
Dewey or
Dex once in a while, too.
