  1. I love the uniqueness of his name! We will call him Des or Dessy but as he gets old I’m sure he will prefer Desmond. I think it’s a bold and classic name. We actually got the name from the TV show LOST – my husband and I agreed on this one name and that was it!

  3. To us we wanted a strong name that wasn’t poplar (at least at this time) but also wasn’t to trendy. I like that it is rooted in Ireland which one of my favorite places to travel to.
