[Opinions] Re: Desiree
in reply to a message by Laslow
The only one I know has been a very dear friend since we were both 6 years old, so it's got totally positive associations for me. She got the name because her parents had really wanted a baby girl, and she was their first.
It's got a rather raunchy image, unfortunately. When my friend went to nursery school, one of the assistants wasn't familiar with the name and misheard it as Daisy-Ray! Her nn has always been Des, but I still use Daisy as a nn now and then, and if I had enough daughters I'd have used Daisy for one of them, rather than Desiree.
