Believe it or not, this was a fairly common appellation in early New England, interpreted not in the sexual sense, but more in terms of desiring salvation. In modern times, the French name Desiree, pronounced dehz-ih-ray, would be more acceptable.

Desire as a masculine name is an uncommon choice derived from the Latin word 'desiderare' meaning 'to long for' or 'to wish for.' While more frequently seen as a feminine name, the masculine usage has appeared sporadically throughout history, particularly in French-speaking regions where it's pronounced 'day-zee-RAY' with the accent on the final syllable. The name conveys a sense of yearning or aspiration. As a male name, Desire has never achieved widespread popularity in English-speaking countries, remaining a rare and distinctive choice that carries romantic and passionate connotations.
