This is the name of the protagonist of the fairy tale The Enchanted Canary. Desire is a young nobleman who falls in love with a golden-skinned princess named Zizi. (The original French version includes accent marks, while Andrew Lang's translation omits them.)
Desire (no accent marks) is the name of a queen in Robin Hobb's 'Realm of the Elderlings' series of novels. She has one son with King Shrewd whom she names Regal.
