Last week I came at you with the Most Unsexy names. I have finished that list thanks to you guys. Now I’m on the mission to complete the job. I am now looking for the most sexy names there are. Now when I say sexy I’m talking about the ones that make you sweat upon hearing it. I’m talking Raul, Tyrone, Desiree, Lola, Coco, Whatever. Hooker names will be happily accepted as well. So lets get this show on the road. ---

My brother, without stating a reason, said that Dorcas and Hortence are the sexiest names for a woman. ---

I get the hots for three-syllable women’s names, like Clarissa, Melissa, Stephanie, Natasha. And I can’t imagine feeling that ‘Dorcas’ or ‘Hortence’ are sexy-sounding. Maybe your brother figures they have to put out to make up for their awkward, off-putting names? (sorry to all your Dorcases and Hortences out there) ---

dantheman is the sexiest name I can think of. Why, whenever it’s spoken, cheese melts. ---

I know this is rather bold, but I think my name is sexy. ---

Ah, **Francesca** (said in a nice, deep, Mediterranean style voice, with a properly rolled ‘R’, of course) is a very sexy name 🙂 That said, and given my proclivities, I’ve always gone weak in the knees for Tyler, Chad, Troy, Stephen, David and Mark. OK - so some of the hottest guys I’ve know have those names, but you get the drift. ---

When I was a teenager, I knew a guy whose Dad acquired a fast sportscar and a 20-something named Rhonda Lana DeVore. ---

> [@](#): > > Now when I say sexy I’m talking about the ones that make you sweat upon hearing it. I’m talking Raul, Tyrone, Desiree, Lola, Coco then accordingly, **Lola Coca Cola** is probably the hottest/sexiest female on the planet, right…😉 ---

Leigh. I can’t explain it, but it does it for me. I’ve also never met an Emily I didn’t like, but the name is a little too common to be sexy. ---

I’m going to butcher the spelling, but Geneveve is a way sexy name for a woman. I’ll agree with Melissa, but I may just be conditioned since almost every Melissa I know is gorgeous. ---

I generally go for polysyllabic names, too. Two or three syllables; Melissa, Marissa, Natalia, Angelique (as mentioned), I guess I also tend to like non-English names, too, mostly. And, one that has special associations for me, that makes it a zinger when it probably wouldn’t be, otherwise, is Linda. ---

I second Nadine. Also, Anastasia, but with the short a in the third syllable. More like “Sasha” than the continent “Asia”. I’m not a gay girl, but every woman I’ve known with those names made me think about it. ---
