By which I mean that people who have that name are *usually *good looking, or the inverse. Maybe you just prefer the name or maybe in your experience it adds a certain je nais se quoi. Just for fun, of course.
I’ve found that girls named Rebecca/Becky, Jessica, Sophie and Heather can usually be counted on to be pretty, while on the other end I associated names like Hilda, Ethel or Mildred to be crotchety old women (no offence if that’s your name).
Kandi. With an I. and a K.
Bambi.
It isn’t really fair to include those ancient names that nobody names girls anymore.
I went to high school with lots of homely Jessicas and Heathers. I’ve never actually met a human Sophie before; the only Sophie I know is my boss’s dog.
But there are names that I associate with good looking girls because the majority of girls I’ve known with that name happen to be attractive. Rachel, Lindsey, Becky/Becca, Lilly, Michelle, Vanessa, and Katie/Kate all recall beautiful girls to me, usually girls I had crushes on in middle school or high school.
I think the overall sexiest female name is Vanessa. I’ve never known an unattractive Vanessa. And the name itself “sounds” sexy, though I can’t really explain why.
Do people really have these names? I’ve always assumed they only exist as stage names for strippers.
I associate the name Nadine with fat slovenly disgusting hairy chicks who get crumbs all over their tit-shelf at lunchtime.
I’ve never met an ugly Katie or Kyle.
All Melvins will, without fail, be total melvins.
I have some, but I can’t name any off the top of my head right now.
I associate Ashley with ugly girls, possibly because an ugly Ashley went to my grade school.
Must just be you. All Ashleys I know are very cute. They’re also about 30 years too young for me. Damn.
In my age-appropriate group, a Tanya was & still is always hot. A Tammy was hot when young, but by now has gained significant weight. A Heather was hot in the librarian-who-lets-her-hair-down way; serious & brainy until she let her inner hawt chick run wild. Lisa’s and Kathy’s (in all variant spellings) were a dime a dozen, and mostly average to boot.
Susan’s (in all variant spellings) were easy. And a damn good thing it was. Hawtness varied, but easy trumps hot any day.
I dunno but every Jeff I’ve ever met in my life turned out to be a huge jerk.
(This is a sample size of perhaps, 5.)
Hie yourself over to Pregnancy, Parenting, Lifestyle, Beauty: Tips & Advice | mom.com and check out the historical popularity of names over time. Unfortunately at least for me the site has problems as the moment.
I think you will find that one of the correlations will be what people were named during your formative years, and what grandmothers tended to be named during your formative years and so on.
Almost nobody has been named Ethel or Mildred since early in the last century. Hilda isn’t much different. Lindsays, Jessicas and Heathers were born about 20 to 40 years ago. A Bambi is probably 40-70 years of age. A Kandi will be 30-40 years old, tending towards the former. An Ashley will be under 30. A Melvin is most likely well over 60. And so on…
Girls named Desiree tend to become strippers for some reason, so that’s a hot name.
Girls who have names like Mildred and Ethel, and use those names, don’t even want to be hot.
As a matter of fact, now that I think about it, hot girls always change their name to a hot name or use the hottest variance of their name. Hey, I’ll bet the hot girls are the ones wearing the hot clothes too! That couldn’t be just a coincidence. So maybe girls named Desiree go into stripping because they don’t want to change their name.
Do guys have hot names?
A Kate will be 40 or younger, a Sophie (interestingly) will be less than 20 or more than 90. A Desiree will be between 40 and 10 but not younger. Rebecca has been pretty steadily popular since the 1940’s but is dropping now and is probably not going to be less than say 20.
All Melvins are melvins, but not all melvins are Melvins?
I am not hot and never will be. I shall be changing my name to Mildred forthwith.
Gisele?
Tiffany. I dated a Tiffany in high school, and she was very pretty.
At the opposite end (and the opposite gender), there’s Sheldon:
So Mildred? How you doing? 
As an after effect. I have always hated my given name. “Douche-bag” seems to fit me quite nicely.
When did Lillys start spelling it with a double-L? I’ve had my heart stepped on by two Lillys.
Nice to meet you, Miss Forthwith.
I once knew an Ethel that was pretty hot. Not as hot as Vanessa, but few were.
