'Good looking' names

Can you think of any names that you always associate with someone really good looking? I don't think I've ever met a boy/man called Ben or Alex who isn't a hottie. If you name your baby one of these names, will they always turn out to be good looking?

There were a couple of ugly Emmas at college with me ...

OrmIrian · 19/09/2008 08:03

And I know 2 Marks, one of whom is lovely lovely and the other is truly terrible.

Kates are not all nutters.

I mean it!

LynetteScavo · 18/09/2008 22:33

BEAUTIFUL - It's true, all Kates are bonkers.

We really liked the name Kate, but didn't want a nutter for a daughter!

I am friends with quite a lot of Kate's. They are all lovely, but utterly bonkers!

MadBadandDangerousToKnow · 18/09/2008 22:14

In mine too.

BEAUTlFUL · 18/09/2008 22:13

Marks are always nice people, IME.

MadBadandDangerousToKnow · 18/09/2008 22:09

Dominics are swoon-makingly handsome but will break your heart

Tristans have a PhD in ancient Greek poetry and a certain pallor from the many hours in the Bodleian library

Marks lead challenging outward-bound holidays in Snowdonia and are rugged and muscular

My DH says that all Kates are bonkers. Do you agree? (I have a vested interest in that question...)

I think that Jakes are handsome but caddish, Johns are gorgeous in a down-to-earth, Gabriel Oak-type way, Bens are bloke-next-door attractive, and all Simons have pointy noses.

BigHotMama · 18/09/2008 21:06

Ben had no teeth and smelt, and Alex had a square head with glasses and no neck so not handsome ime

gem1981 · 18/09/2008 21:00

Alex Ferguson ???

bettybeetroot · 18/09/2008 20:30

how strange! my dh is Ben (Benedict) Alexander and is one of the best looking men I've ever seen - a much better looking version of the hornblower !

SharkyandGeorge · 18/09/2008 19:55

Every Jessica I have met has always been very pretty.

hopperdee i love you

We have 'get the pints in' mens names.
Dan, Tom and Ben would get the pints in.

Roger would wait until everyone had theirs already and then offer to go to the bar to escape their round.

Rupert would nurse a Cosmopolitan.

Stars22 · 18/09/2008 19:35

I know a few ugly Ben's and Anna's and I went to school with an ugly Alex. Maybe i just know a lot of ugly people.

Actually agree with puppymonkey, I havent met an ugly Zack.

Pinkchampagne · 18/09/2008 19:17

I know of a really weedy Ben

PuppyMonkey · 18/09/2008 19:17

Zack is a hot name

Nappyzoneneedssleep · 18/09/2008 19:15

Guy is defo a hottie name

DoubleBluff · 18/09/2008 19:14

katie potatie your husband is right

LynetteScavo · 18/09/2008 19:13

I've never met an ugly James.

PuppyMonkey · 18/09/2008 19:11

I know a really fat bloater called Ben. And an Alex with a massive beer gut who is always pissed.

My friend has a daughter called Anna, who is very sweet and nicely behaved and all. But there's something about her that doesn't half remind me of Bill Bailey the comedian.

2point4kids · 18/09/2008 19:06

Ben, Adam, Alex, Ollie and Dom are all good looking I say

missblythe · 18/09/2008 19:03

I think all fellas called Max are hot
