The sexiness of male names

In about 4 weeks, I’ll have a son named Peyton Alexander. Mrs. Iceman and I think it’s a sexy “guy” name- although it’s strange to think of my child as a sex object.

Don’t even remind me that my daughter will eventually start dating…

Guy checking in. I don’t like the name Peyton, and don’t think the chicks dig it. How about Robert Alexander?

I of course don’t know anybody named that.

Hey, Don’t look at me like that! :smiley:

I made it! I made it! I was getting seriously worried. :slight_smile:

  • Sunspace (not Dylan, Jamie, or Devon, although I work with one)

What?! No Denis yet?? Yeah, that sounds about right.

What’s the deal with all this Celtic stuff? What about considering some Nordic names. For instance try a good old Nordic name like say Rune. Yeah that has a really sexy sound to it. ummm… Rune melts like chocolate on the tongue. ummmm…

  • Rune

Nikita
Erik
Paul
Ramon
David
Sean
Nathan
Dominic
Alexander
Jared
Morgan
Aiden

I like a mix of ethnicities. The Spanish Ramon is far sexier than it’s cousin Raymond; Nikita has a certain exotic quality that’s only heightened by its ambiguity – after all, how many people outside of Russia even know it’s actually a boy’s name? Aiden and Jared carry bad-boy appeal, and Alexander and Dominic manage to maintain sexiness across multiple syllables.

Beauty, riches, and success.

Au contraire, I just looove the name Robert.
Of course, that is my husband’s name
:wink:

BTW, I agree on Chet. That was my absent father’s name.

I agree with most J names, as well as K sounding ones too (even if they start with a C). Some favorites…

Jaden
Jeremy
Jantz
Jaeger
Jude (as in Law)
Jace
Julian

Cael
Cooper
Craven
Coyne
Christian
Colm
Chaim
Caleb
Connor

Keagan
Koen
Kieren
Keaton

I also seem to have a think for names that end in N and surnames (swoon!) for first names. :wink: Plus, the one’s that don’t fit anywhere else are: Yardley, Ethan, Paul, Trenton, Schuy, Brody, Gabriel, Quade, Zachary, Tanner, Haynes, Heath, Noah, Logan, Paley, Riordan, Wheaton, and Gehrig. Just to name a few.

And is it just me, or does anyone else find a name attractive once your drawn to the person that has it? I mean, I don’t really think Viggo is a sexy name but the actor sure as hell is. :smiley:

the number one rule is that you must be able to yell the name out in the midst of passion without dissolving into a puddle of laughter. this is where some french names fall.

“ooooooh, rene!” nope.

“oooohhh, ferd!” nope.

“ooooohhh, jacques!” nope.

“oooohhhh, jack!” yep.

“oooohhh, ethan!” yep.

“ooooh, ponteleimon!” nope too long.

I like old-fashioned, one-syllable names:

Sam
John
Ben
Dan(iel)
Jack
Will

I don’t know why, but they just sound like the names of good, stand-up, real-man men.

I’ve always liked the Vikings:

Thor
Erik
Crosby
Leif

:wink:

Actually, despite the shameless manner in which you’ve brought it up, there is something to Rune. I’d take one home with me.

Come on, Rune?

That’s like being named “Heiroglyph”

Straight male, so I don’t know what I’m talking about, but:

Stefan (my name in the surface world)
Veikko
Ukko
Heikki
Osmo
Thor
Leif
Bjorn
Gunnar
Axel
Hrothgar
Ragnar
Odin

Hieronymus is a really cool name as well, but I don’t know if anyone finds it sexy.

Well, that name isn’t familiar to me… probably because I haven’t watched that Humphrey Bogart movie. I hope that lead character’s a guy. (Ingmar Bergman is a guy too, y’know… his first name was Ernst)

Granuaile reminded me of the pure sex appeal to be found in the names Rhys and Gavin… the first time I met people with those names, I was in love. :slight_smile:

F_X

Ok, then:

Frank (or Francisco).

from a *man *with good taste.

I made the list! 4 votes for Eric and 2 for Erik. I never liked that name, but if women swoon over it then maybe I won’t change it.

But I can still spell it whatever way I want.

Straight male here.
