Ad hoc post - Meme!

[amberdreams]

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

i always forget that "roger" means something different to brits, so yeah, not the sexiest name.

Ha ha yes, there is the connotation, but also somehow, Roger to me conjures up images of sweaty middle-aged men in cheap plastic glasses and sweater vests.
