[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries!

Been rather crushing on this name again, it reminds me of creating adventures in the woods and warriors and princesses to be saved and sticks doubling as swords and treehouse palaces. It also reminds me of real-live warriors to be admired and especial [name_m]Desmond[/name_m] [name_m]Doss[/name_m], and the sacrifices he made for soldiers who berated him in WWII for refusing to pick up a gun. His story has always impressed me and I think is one of the reasons I keep coming back to [name_m]Desmond[/name_m].

If you had to come up with a combo for him, what would you use? A while ago I loved [name_m]Desmond[/name_m] [name_m]Xavier[/name_m], not sure if I would use him anymore. I like T middles (like [name_m]Desmond[/name_m] Theo!) with him too but I’m not sure I would use [name_m]Theo[/name_m] or [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] myself. Would love to hear any ideas you have!

Thanks berries!

I learnt of [name_m]Desmond[/name_m] [name_m]Doss[/name_m] only recently when I saw the film. A very moving story. [name_m]Desmond[/name_m] [name_m]Theo[/name_m] actually reminded me of [name_m]Desmond[/name_m] Tutu. It’s my strongest association with the name.

[name_f]My[/name_f] first idea was [name_m]Desmond[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m]. I like when there’s a few repeating letters in a combination. Some other ideas considering your imagery:

[name_m]Desmond[/name_m] [name_m]Jack[/name_m]

Summary

P.S. Not sure if you saw the birth announcement but my 4th was a boy after all! Thanks again for all the help coming up with girl names anyways haha! Maybe in the future haha!

[ashthedreamer]

Thanks everyone! I don’t feel the need to stick to a T middle, just liked [name_m]Desmond[/name_m] [name_m]Theo[/name_m] in theory and figured I’d explore options. I haven’t ruled out [name_m]Desmond[/name_m] [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] either, I am still quite fond of him, too.

@EdgeOfTheMeadow - thanks girl! I have to admit most of these T names everyone suggested didn’t really do a ton for me, and I don’t love [name_m]Timaeus[/name_m], but it reminded me of my beloved [name_m]Timo[/name_m], and I really like [name_m]Desmond[/name_m] [name_m]Timo[/name_m].

@kachenka - yes, the film was excellent. He’s one of the few famous figures from my church/denomination and I love the religious symbolism that fits with that “just one more” scene in the film. I also love your suggestion of [name_m]Jack[/name_m], might seriously consider him for a second middle, he’s one of my favorite family names. I also like [name_m]Desmond[/name_m] [name_m]Philip[/name_m] from your suggestions.

@Greyblue - thanks girl! I have been crushing on [name_m]Baxter[/name_m] for a while, so I think I’m going to save him for a potential FN spot on my list.

@ladyofthetower - hey girl! Thank you for the ideas, I’m intrigued by [name_m]Desmond[/name_m] [name_m]Lionel[/name_m] (or [name_m]Desmond[/name_m] [name_m]Leo[/name_m]? feels like [name_m]Desmond[/name_m] [name_m]Theo[/name_m] but a little sunnier!), or [name_m]Desmond[/name_m] [name_m]Torin[/name_m]! I adore Torin/Tor a lot. And I rarely make it to the birth announcement forum so I hadn’t seen, but congratulations mama Wick is so cute and fits so well with your older three.

I have been crushing on Baxter for a while, so I think I’m going to save him for a potential FN spot on my list.

(I do think Desmond and Baxter make a great set of brothers!)
