Are there any particular names which conjure up glamorous imagery for you, and if so what are they?

That was obviously meant to say accept!

Nah. Even a Finbar would have a good laugh at the idea that their name was glamorous.

No need to be the thread prefect.

I'm not really sure why everybody is mocking the suggestionn of Finbar. Why?

Surely this is all subjective and as a non-Irish person it certainly sounds a bit exotic and glamorous. Why not just except that some people hold a different opinion and stop mocking?

Male: Xavier. Anton. Gabriel. Alexander. Vincent. Finbar. Guiseppe.

Rex and Paloma.

They'd probably have skin like an old saddlebags and have three glass smashing dramatic rows each day. But they'd do it all so elegantly.

Thank you everybody.

I don’t think a name can be glamorous by itself because you necessarily attach it to an actual person.

This.

So many names on this thread are used by very non glamorous people I've known.
