Désirée Le Beau (1907 - 1993) was an Austro-Hungarian-American industrial chemist and inventor known for developing new methods of rubber reclamation.

Princess Désirée, Baroness Silfverschiöld (Désirée Elisabeth Sibylla) is the third child of Prince Gustaf Adolf, Duke of Västerbotten, and Princess Sibylla of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and granddaughter of King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden. She is an elder sister of King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden.

Désirée Malonga is a Romanian actress and model. Malonga is best known in Romania for playing Désirée McLoud on the hit Prima TV comedy series Trăsniți din NATO.

I first saw the name Desirée in the book by Jacqueline Carey’s Naamah’s Cures. I thought it was a lovely name.

Désirée Nosbusch is a television presenter and actress. She was born in Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg, from Luxembourgish father and Italian mother. In the 1980s she lived in Manhattan in New York City, and from the 1990s to 2008 she lived in Los Angeles, California. Nosbusch speaks Luxembourgish, German, French, Italian and English. She has acted in both French-language and German-language films and television productions since her mid teens. For example, she was a member of the youth drama group of the Lycée Hubert Clément of Esch-sur-Alzette (Luxembourg), and in some Italian-language miniseries. She presented the Eurovision Song Contest 1984 in Luxembourg and hosted a kid's version of Ruck Zuck called "Kinder Ruck Zuck". Nosbusch is also a singer. In 1984 she recorded a duet with Austrian singer Falco entitled "Kann es Liebe sein?".

Désirée is the name of the princess from Madame d'Aulnoy's fairy tale The White Doe. She turns into a white doe after being exposed to sunlight. (It's a shame how this gorgeous name is seen as trashy by some people.)

Lucille Ball's middle name was Desiree. That was her mother's name, too.

Desiree was Lucille Ball's middle name. She got her middle name from her mother's first name.

Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, Duchess of Västergötland (Swedish: Kronprinsessan Victoria, Sveriges kronprinsessa, hertiginna av Västergötland, Victoria Ingrid Alice Désirée; born 14 July 1977) is the heiress apparent to the Swedish throne. If she ascends to the throne as expected she will be Sweden's third queen regnant.

Désirée Clary (November 8, 1777 – December 17, 1860) was the wife of King Charles XIV John of Sweden and Norway and almost fiancée of Napoleon Bonaparte.

Napoleon Bonaparte's first fiance (before Josephine) was called Desiree. She later married Jean Baptiste Bernadotte and eventually became the queen of Sweden. The royal line there today descends from her.

This is the name of a ghost on "Danny Phantom." As one would expect, she is the wishing ghost, but what she wishes comes with a high and often terrible cost.

There is a short story by Kate Chopin entitled "Désirée's Baby."

This is a beautiful and elegant name. Modern, too.
A famous bearer of this name is a singer Desiree.
