Seeing a theme here?
The survey found that Latin and French names scored particularly well, as did male names ending in “o” and female names ending in “a.”
And names featuring double letters scored better than their single-letter counterparts (Adriana vs. Adrianna), the website’s founder told LiveScience.
She explained: “One thing that leaps out at you is that we do have a mostly American and English-speaking user base, and Americans still have the image of the Latin lover.
“These names are Italian and Spanish and French. You can even go Russian, with Dmitri… [it’s all down to that] element of fantasy.”
On the other end of the spectrum, there are the most unsexy names of all time…

According to the site’s founder, these names are too ‘ordinary’ to be sexy – and some of them feel ‘old and clunky’.
She added: “They all have very high ‘Scrabble’ values, but today’s style in names is very light, full of vowels, very smooth.
“The double consonants in the middle of some — Gertrude and Mildred for example — sound heavy.”
Hmmm – we’re not so sure. They certainly have their old school charm, don’t they?

These are officially the sexiest names in the world and some of them are shocking
There’s an ongoing support group on TikTok for women who’ve been wronged by men with names beginning with J. Although there’s no scientific evidence explaining it, the tenth letter of the alphabet has always just exuded palpable and life-ruining fuckboy energy.
Now researchers at Love Honey have released a list of the sexiest names in the world, based off of the most lusted after characters from books and films. And guess which letter dominates the men’s list? Yup. Jackson, John, Jacob, Jack, James, Joe, Jamie— the J names have us all in a chokehold.
The study also found the most attractive men’s names have vowel sounds spoken from the front of the mouth but the opposite is true for women. And both gender’s hottest names always have less than seven letters. So, any double barrelled Jean Pauls or Molly-Maes it’s not looking good for you. Soz.
But there are almost eighty other names listed on LoveHoney’s sexiest names in the (very white and very Westernised) world ranking. So, in case you’re wondering whether yours is particularly moanable, here are all of the names almost guaranteed to pull on a night out:

Of all the Hinge matches pinging onto your profile, you apparently need to pay particular attention to any Jacks, who were ranked as having the number one most romantic name in TV and fiction. Titanic’s Jack Dawson and Brokeback Mountain’s Jack Twist are obv the big ones. Then, Nick, James and Ben all tied for second place thanks to the main character in Crazy Rich Asians and Dana Isaly’s book series Nick and Holly.

Literally for my entire life I’ve loathed the fact that my middle name is Mary. Well, plot twist because, according to LoveHoney, the moniker most commonly associated with virgins and the coming of Christianity is actually the hottest of all names in the world ever. And we have the films There’s Something About Mary, About Time and Ammonite to thank.
