It’s Mike for me. Had serious relationships with four, married two of them (at different times of course). What ??? It has kept me from saying the wrong name in my sleep or more importantly, during sex. ---

I can’t believe everyone has overlooked the sexiest male name of all: Dick. No, it’s not my name (nor Richard). I wish. FYI, you can look up popular baby names (by year, State, etc.) on the US Social Security Web site: [http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames](http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames) ---

I had to laugh when I saw GUNNAR mentioned. It’s a joke me and my best male friend have, because one day we were talking about baby names for fun, and he said he would name his kid that cuz he likes the name, and I think it’s a lil silly. I saw Sebastian mentioned quite a bit too. My friend Blake (real name Sebastian, who goes by his middle name – Blake), does so because he hates his real name. Just another thing I found cute. I need to tell him lots of people really find his real name sexy. Male names I think are sexy: - Justin - Stephan - Chris(topher) - Jeremy - Lee - Michel !!! - Thomas - William Plenty more I am missing I’m sure. ---

Unsurprisingly, my name (my real name) isn’t anywhere to be found in this thread. Well, it sounds sexy when my wife says it. Under the right conditions, anyway. ---

**Rabid\_Squirrel** , hi ! Thanks for the welcoming hug. I actually have been surfing here for a year but decided to sign up a lil while ago. 😉 About the guy’s names… I really hate how a nice name can be ruined if you know a jerk with that name. Anyone else with me? Somehow I can’t really get past it. If I hated this one guy who was an ass (say his name was Mark or something), I wouldn’t want to name my son Mark due to the association, and it therefore takes away the sexiness a little if I meet a guy named Mark who I could potentially be with. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Bjork \* > \*\*_laughs_ Hrothgar…like on Beowulf? > \*\* Heh. You know, I once remarked that Hrothgar is a cool name, and my mom said “I hope you don’t have any sons…” 😉 Also, I find it mildly amusing that Patrick is on so many lists, probably because it’s my brother’s name and names of siblings are automatically unsexy. 😉 ---

I love the name David. Not sure about the sexiness of it, but I love it. “Julian” is sexy, in a sweet way, because of associations I make with the name. Patrick is only sexy as in Patrick Stewart or Robert Patrick. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-sexiness-of-male-names/203114.md?page=6) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-sexiness-of-male-names/203114.md?page=8)
