'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?

Based on schoolyard experiences, I used to think Steven/Stephen was THE name for ugly, nasty, stupid and spiteful boys with dried dribble on their shirts. Then I met a simply beautiful one, changed my mind about the name, and married him!
However, until then my life had been plagued by Nickys and Kates. They are the two sorts of girls who do well man-wise in Australia. Nicky (or Nikki, Caz or Kim) has sun-streaked hair, a big cleavage and blusters into the pub gasping "Hey guys, so great to see yewww! How ARE yewww? How ya goinggg? Hey, let me shout yew a round. Oh wait, just gotta answer my mobile ... How are yewww?" The Kates (or Sarah or Claire) wear jeans, shapeless T-shirt and no make-up, are doing an MA in medieval virgin iconography or something equally useful, and in company sit silently holding the hand of their maddeningly attractive god-disguised-as-nerd boyfriend.
Both types artfully conceal their intelligence so as not to intimidate the guys. I didn't learn that trick, and I always lost out to the Kates!

I do believe that names have a bearing on how people turn out -- somehow they do!

All Helens are cow bags. Honestly its weird - since infant school I have known about lots and they have all turned out to be vile - the last one slept with my fiance.. she was my best friend. I should have known better than to be friends with a Helen
