I too have thought about the 'dessert' thing, but I pronounce them two different ways, so it doesn't make a huge connection for me.

Dessert = DUH-ZURT
Desert - DEZ-urt

Actually deserts [depending on what type of desert] is not all barren, majority is,but some are not. Also, there's quite a bit of life in the desert, it just doesn't seem so. :)

Thanks for the opnion though.

But that won't stop all the other people meeting your child from making the connection between desert and dessert. You won't be the only one to interact with her. And actually, desert is pronounced just like dessert when it's used as a verb.

Interesting [m]

I still pronounce them slightly different, when I say it fast desert = dez-ert, and dessert = dez-urt, I dunno maybe it's just me? lol. I never asked for opinions on the name in the first place though, people just gave me opinions of hand when I never asked [lol], but that's okay. I just wanted MNs. I was just giving insight on why I liked the name. :)

Oops, you're right, you didn't ask for opinions on the name. But it is the Opinions Board. :-/
