'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?

In mine too.

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!

OrmIrian · 19/09/2008 08:02

Kates are not all nutters.

I mean it!

OrmIrian · 19/09/2008 08:03

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

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

LuLuBai · 19/09/2008 10:15

Max is usually very sexy and I've never met an ugly Emily.

Met plenty of beer bloated Bens I'm afraid.

CuppaTeaJanice · 19/09/2008 10:23

All the Emmas I've met tend to be very friendly and approachable.

Has anyone noticed that Matts and Andys always tend to hang out togther? I know several pairs.

Also Richards tend to have a certain look about them. You can always tell a Richard as you pass him in the street.

LouMacca · 19/09/2008 10:28

Don't think I've ever seen an ugly Sophie. Sophie Dahl, Sophie Ellis-Bexter, Sophie Anderton to name a few.

I have a Sophie too and she is gorgeous

TwoMore · 19/09/2008 17:13

How do you know, as you pass them on the street, do you ask? Maybe they are really Colins with an 80's tie on?

notsoteenagemum · 19/09/2008 17:23

IME
Kierons are cute,
Ethans cheeky,
Olivers brainy,
Adams vain,
Beckys blonde,
Nicki's hairdressers.

OrmIrian · 19/09/2008 17:26

I know no ugly Sophies, but I know one nasty one.

Swedes · 19/09/2008 17:34

Fabrizio sounds as though he might have a smelly crotch. But I realise that it's the word association with Fabreze.

LynetteScavo · 19/09/2008 17:38

lol @ Janice.

itswineoclock · 19/09/2008 22:19

Billy, all are good looking, boys or girls, and charismatic too(exception of Connelly but hes defo charismatic)

nuthacuppatea · 20/09/2008 09:23

Heathcliff....dashing!

bikerunski · 20/09/2008 17:37

All the male Sams I have known (about 5 or 6) have been nice guys and not bad looking.

All the female Sams I have known (about 4) have been complete cows.

I do not deny that there must horrid man-Sams and lovely girl-Sams out there.

Agree with wineoclock, all Billys I have met have been good looking and super cool.

Quite few gorgeous bad boy type Dannys too.

LuLuBai · 22/09/2008 07:57

My cat's called Billy. He's a duffus.

NK3c787decX11c8a96cc64 · 22/09/2008 16:43

Guy, Tom & Alex would be my failproof 'good-looking' boy/man names.

Ben is hit and miss.

For girls the Rebecca I knew was clever and beautiful, have known more than one Anna who were beautiful but mean.

KAEKAE · 24/09/2008 16:55

I know a few Bens that have been very overweight and sweaty looking. Strangly they have always stunk of cheese too!

I also think that all Kates are mad!
All Hannahs are long faced and withdrawn.

ThinWhiteDuchess · 24/09/2008 17:45

All the Kates I have ever met are utterly bonkers!

Several years ago a new girl called Annaliese was starting at work. All the men were getting excited, imagining a hottie out of Neighbours. In walked the spit of Life & Times of a She Devil. Warts and all (literally). She stank too. There were some very disappointed people that day!

TheSmallClanger · 24/09/2008 18:37

I have known a few pretty-but-evil Annas.
I have never met a Nicole who wasn't an overbearing, bossy, nasty cow (although there must be a few nice Nicoles out there!)
I have known two men called Piers, both of whom had a drinking problem.

Graces are normally nice people with a certain charm, even though they may not be classically graceful. Georges are often good-looking and good company, although a little eccentric.

allgonebellyup · 24/09/2008 18:39

i know two rather unattractive Stephanies

one very unattractive Alex

Sophies are always HOT

pointydog · 24/09/2008 18:40

Ben Fogle. What an unhot tosser
