Desmond Hume, character on Lost (TV show)"Desmond is named after David Hume, a Scottish philosopher who discussed the ideas of free will and determinism.[2] These ideas are reflected in Desmond's time travel where he meets Ms. Hawking, an old lady who explains that the universe has a specific way in which things must take place, anywhere that things go off course, the universe will correct itself.[3] Cusick was originally hired for only three episodes in the beginning of season two, but he then returned in the finale and became a regular cast member from the third season.[4]" -Wikipedia.

Desmond Miles is the main/player character in the video game series Assassin's Creed.
The only Desmond I know is Quentin Collins' cousin from Dark Shadows. Probably because of the character I associate this as a really frilly and kind of gay name associated with male poodles.
