WDYT of Desmond? And Eloise?

I hadn't heard either of those names before LOST and since then, they've both grown on me hugely. I think, anyway. Each on that fine line between "love it and want to use it" and "love it but could never use it." I think Eloise sounds really pretty but I don't like how it looks.

Really? I find that fascinating that you'd never heard either name before. I like Desmond. I have a favorite combo Desmond Hugh, obviously influenced by the Lost character. :) Eloise is kind of pretty. I know of someone with a 1 year old daughter with that name. It's also my great-aunt's middle name, but I dislike her and therefore can't really like the name too much.

I grew up in a very traditional town, full of very "normal" named people. Basically, I only know people with extremely trendy names from the year they were born (think Jennifers, Kellys, Ashleys, etc for girls). Before I started really becoming interested in names, the "weirdest" names I had heard were probably Miles for a boy and Destiny for a girl. Needless to say, I've heard of a lot of other less traditional names since.. LOST just happened to be show me those names first. :)
