Chloe tends to be a good indicator of a pretty girl.

Brooke and Katie.
Joe. I am sucker for a guy named Joe. It will enhance any man’s attractiveness.
I did, in fact, name one of my sons Joe (Joseph really, of course). At age 10 he is already a chick magnet, so I think I am not the only one who feels this way.
I knew a Bambi in elementary school. She changed her name before we got to Jr. High.
I used to work with a Bambi, but I think that was her nickname. Overweight, gray hair, and definitely played for the other team, but she was pretty attractive.
I know a Gertrude who is now about 25 & pretty darn smokin’. She goes by Gertie. She’s a typical USAian, not an immigrant from someplace where Gertrude might have been a popular infant name in the middle 1980s.
So it’s not true that 100% of folks with those sorts of names are granny-aged. Just 99%.
I narrowly dodged being a Hilda- my Grandma’s name. Apparently she told my parents in no uncertain terms they were not to inflict that name on an innocent baby, so they didn’t 
Thanks Granny, you massively improved my APL[sup]*[/sup]!
I can’t think of any guy’s names I always associate with hotness. I think it’s partly because I know lot more guys who share names than I do women, so for every cute one, there’s normally an ugly or arseholeish one I know too…
[sup]*[/sup] Apparent Hotness Level
I met a Greta a few months back. All sorts of hawt.
Bambi was a boy.
Gretchen? Seriously? The name sounds like someone barfing and makes me think of a fat German-looking girl wearing a too-tight striped sweater that smells slightly of cabbage.
The best part about that Sheldon quote comes later, when Harry meets Helen’s new guy…Ira. The tiny pause right when Harry says his name, and the subtle tone to his voice when he pronounces it, is comedy gold.
Natalia and most of its variations (Natalya, Nataliia, Natasha, etc)
But not “Natalie” (think Facts of Life)
Natalie Wood was definitely hot.
More often than not in my experience, mid-twenties to late-thirties Matts and Ryans are hot. Freds in the same age range are nice, but not hot.
So instead you got … Filbert? Filbert???
You poor thing; your parents really had it in for you.
Yes, I’m kidding.
Do a google image search on the word “dirndl”.
No need to thank me.
The best lover I’ve ever had is named Sheldon. I tease him mercilessly whenever we watch When Harry Met Sally.
There’s a baby name book out (it’s always being updated) called Beyond Jennifer and Jason by Linda Rosen-somebody. It actually has chapters discussing various categories of names: cool. uncool. feminissa. manly. androgynous. Very interesting. I don’t know why an Ethel or Bertha couldn’t be breathtakingly beautiful, just one of those those things. Like Herman, Francis, Ralph, or Edgar - couldn’t they be hot guys?
Hottest guy I ever came across was named “Roman”. Though he called himself Ray.
I’ve never met a girl named Thunderass whom I’ve considered above average in looks.
mmm
