Kristine is the most sexy name I can think of. Aaron, however, is apparently the most unsexy name there is. . .or at least it hasn’t helped me any. ---

Ethan (though the one on _Joe Millionaire_ almost ruined this for me) Rafael, and nickname Raffi Damien Dmitri Neil, but only if paired with a correspondingly cool last name. Strong Bad 🙂 Ashton Can’t think of anymore off the top. ---

**CRIPE!** The second film version of Nabokov’s novel **Lolita** featured a scrumptous hottie named **Dominique** which mattered for naught to this writer, as I placed myself in Mr. Humbert’s position mentally, wishing only for the reinforcement of her supple person. Dominique is a nice name. 😉 ---
