'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?

My DSS1 (13) is an Alex and he's very hot . Girls are swarming around him...

DrNortherner · 18/09/2008 17:09

I knew a very ugly Rose once, which is why I would never use that name in case she turned out to be un rose like!

Our boss used to call her 'the beautiful rose' to her face

I know a very podgy Grace. It doesn't seem very kind.

missblythe · 18/09/2008 19:03

I think all fellas called Max are hot

2point4kids · 18/09/2008 19:06

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

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.

LynetteScavo · 18/09/2008 19:13

I've never met an ugly James.

DoubleBluff · 18/09/2008 19:14

PuppyMonkey · 18/09/2008 19:17

Zack is a hot name

Pinkchampagne · 18/09/2008 19:17

I know of a really weedy Ben

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.

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.

Every Jessica I have met has always been very pretty.

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 !

gem1981 · 18/09/2008 21:00

Alex Ferguson ???

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

BEAUTlFUL · 18/09/2008 21:24

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.

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

BEAUTlFUL · 18/09/2008 22:13

Marks are always nice people, IME.
