[Opinions] Re: Desiree?
I'm surprised by how many people like it. The whole desire thing makes me feel kind of icky about the name. But maybe I'm being puritanical. I'd never use it, though. It's one of not too many names on my absolutely positively no list.

My school friend (see below) was her parents' first and very much wanted child, hence the name Desiree. The fact that her mother became psychologically abusive towards her (and her sister; not their brother though) is neither here nor there.

Nah, it gives me a weird vibe too, like it's only appropriate on an adult lol

Same here! The desire thing seems so obvious to me as something that’s going to make people think of sex.It doesn’t help that every Desiree I’ve ever known (about five or six) had... um... very loose standards. My cousin Desiree has had four husbands, and she cheated on each of them with the next one. She’s 32.

This may be a case of confirmation bias. How many women have you known who exhibit similar or identical behavior but who are not named Desiree?
