boys names i like Noah.

girls names i love Penelope and wanted it for my dd but dp said no.

and as for choosing a babies name based on sex appeal?! the sex appeal or not of a name never even entered my head when choosing names for my children.

Never would it occur to me to consider the sex appeal of my future child's name. Perhaps that's just me.

James - like but I think it is a 'naughtly' name
Tristan - OK
Noah - not keen

Dorothea - like a lot
Penelope - like a lot
Marie - prefer Maria
Tabitha - witches name

I would go for either Penelope or James

Spot the people who fail to grasp that they are naming an adult as well as a baby.

i have given my children perfectly nice names that suit an adult or a child or have shortened version that suit an adult or a child, but sex appeal was not on my list when considering their names.

Ok. So why would you choose an adult name based on sex appeal? And what names have sex appeal? Personally I find it an odd criterion. People have sex appeal (or don't) - does a name make a huge difference?

Every Colin I have known has been utter filth...

James - classic, good solid name - my favourite
Tristan - don't like, maybe too American sounding?
Noah - nice name, quite trendy at the moment

Dorothea - not keen
Penelope - ok
Marie - pretty
Tabitha - Like it, beautiful name
