Me and a couple friends are currently on a mission to find the 50 most unsexy names for males and 25 most unsexy names for females. Now I want to tell you that when I say unsexy I mean a real sh\*tbomb like Bartholemew or Oswald and even Lazarus. I currently need 17 more male names and 6 more female names. Can you please help me out? ---

My first name is Jasper. I hear it’s a bit of an old geezer/shitkicker kind of name in the US. FWIW, it’s fairly sexy over here. 🙂 ---

Lloyd Floyd d12, I went to high school with a beautiful… absolutely stunning girl named, Ingrid. Now I think of the name as exotic and sexy. Actually, I think I had even before meeting her. ---

Sorry, about that last post, it was a bit of a freak mistake, anyway It’s going pretty good and I got about 10 added to the list but a couple more wouldn’t hurt. ---
