Baby Names

Desmond?

We are team green due in a few months.  Boys names are super difficult for us.  So far we had pretty much narrowed it down to Julian, Elias, Reid, Evan, Ethan, or Ian.  I just stumbled upon the name Desmond.  Thoughts?  Middle name will be Andrew

  • I love Desmond!  It doesn't work with our last name or it would definitely be on our list.

  • I'm obviously in the minority here, but I think Desmond sounds a little effete.  I like the other names on your list better.
  • We love Desmond but realized sadly we cannot use it with Linus... lol. It took us a minute to make the LOST correlation but I knew they sounded familiar together.

  • I really dislike Desmond as a fn because it is a really common last name in my area.  I am not on the last-name-as-a-first-name bandwagon.

    I really like Ethan and Reid from your list.

  • I like your list. Some were on my short list for DS.

    My thoughts on Desmond: Tutu. Since I have never met one in real life I think of the apartheid opponent Bishop Desmond Tutu.

    Thats actually where I got the name from.  I saw a quote of his on Pinterest and I feel in love... with both the quote and the name!

    Hehe well my other son's name is Nolan so I guess it sort of fits the theme of "might be a first name, might be a last name" names

  • I don't care for Desmond. Too many former students have ruined that name for me. I really like Ian, Reid and Elias though!

    This.  Desmond is a great underused name.

  • Love it!  My first thought is the Beatles song (Obla-De Obla-Da or however you spell it).  My second thought is Desmond Dekker.

  • I love the name Desmond!  The other names you have chosen are nice as well, there's not a single one I don't like.  :)
