Ad hoc post - Meme!

Just trying to stay alive on LJ - where is everyone, these days, huh?

Stolen from brutti_ma_buoni, a 31 day meme. I'm trying to decide whether to post every day and fail, or just post randomly. Oh the excitement, hey?

Anyhow, here's today's two answered questions.

1 What are the sexiest names and the least sexy names for a man?

I'm not sure I have a sexy list, but I definitely have an UNsexy list - including Tim/Timothy, Pete/Peter, Roger (snortle), William, Archibald, Arthur (unless you're King Arthus in which case you get a pass), and a whole bunch of those Victorian/Edwardian names that they resurrected from Anglo Saxon times and somehow tarnished forever with their side whiskers and startched shirts.

2 What are the sexiest names and the least sexy names for a woman?

This is harder - there are names I like and don't like but I don't necessarily think of any of them as being sexy.
So I like Rebecca, Roisin, Eleanor, Hazel, Francesca, Genevieve. I tend not to like misspelled made-up meaningless names, or really old fashioned names like Ermintrude or the like. For some reason I've never liked Susan even though it's my middle name, and I now feel bad about that becuase I mentioned it one day in front of my Dad and found out he chose it!! Having said that, I always liked Susanna.

But it kind of depends on the person who owns the name. There are some names I'd never want to give a child but that totally suit a specific person. So basically, no hard and fast rules here!

The rest of the questions are below in case anyone wants to snag the whole list
