Desmond is my #2 favorite name for a boy. It's handsome, intelligent, romantic. Plus, it means "from Munster / southern province of
Ireland" which is where my family is from. The nn
Desi /
Des / Dez is super cute. It's got everything I look for in a name. I'm glad you love it too.
Finn and
Desmond go together to me. They are both Irish and "
Finn and
Des /
Desi" sound like brothers to me. Shia isn't Irish. But "Shia and
Des /
Desi" still works for me. (But I'm biased.)

I say
Viola the British way, exactly like the beginning of
Violet, "VIE-uh-luh." I can't stand the American, "vie-O-luh." There's a third way, "vee-O-luh" which is OK, but reminds me more of the musical instrument than a person.
