Some names are incredibly sexy, some names are not. Names often carry a sense of personality that is given to a person.
In fact, in biblical days, people didn’t name their children something popular, or a name that they liked. This was either a name that was given to them by God Himself, or a name that meant something amazing. It was thought out, and planned.
Regardless, there are some names that just… well, turn me on!
1. Michael. Oh my gosh, I don’t think you can get much stronger in a name than then name “Michael.”
2. Allister. I’ve only recently come back into contact with this name and admittedly, I spell it differently than most people. But, it’s so dark and sexy. *shiver*
3. Cameron. Something about this one. I dunno. It speaks of something deep and artistic. Originally a last name, I’m extremely pleased that it moved into the first name category.
4. Scott. Something about this name… perhaps it’s sort of “slice” sound. SCOTT… just makes me happy.
5. James. Not so much sexy as powerful. Something about the weight of it even though it’s only one syllable. JAMES.
6. Eric/Erik. I won’t even talk about this… just… *purrrrrr*
7. Xerxes. This is just cool, come on. (What’s your name? XERXES!!!)
8. Ryan. Yeah, this is just a nice name to me.
9. Robin. So soft, so caring. But it carries a harder, stronger connotation as well (like Robin Hood).
10. Jason. Yeah, yeah, I know, this carries the whole Freddie/Jason thing with it. Oh well… I love it.
11. Patrick. I dunno, it’s a strong Irish name, it just sounds gorgeous to me.
12. Peter. I always joking say “Pe terra” … like I’m translating it into another language. The bible, Heroes, *shrug* I just like it.
13. Rick. Not to be confused with Dick… this is an awesome name.
14. Garret. I know, I know, rhymes with Ferret. Oh well. I think it’s beautiful.
15. Jesse. At some point in time, I wished that I WAS Jesse’s girl.
16. Jack. *wiggles uncomfortably* Erm… I won’t get into why I like this name lest you suddenly de-friend me and think me a killer.
17. Derrick. It’s really just Eric with a D and a few extra R’s…
18. Taylor. The name of an ex-boyfriend. He’s no longer with us… but, I’ve always been fond of that name.
19. Hunter. WHOA… I love it. It’s quite strong.
20. Matthew. It sounds so comforting. You can’t just say “MATTHEW!” Say, “Mattttthew…”
What are some names that you love?

I like the names Jesse, Jayden, and Casey a lot.

This list sucks. You forgot Nicholas!
guest
oh yes cameron…. i like cameron a lot
guest
hahahha your commentary is hilarious =)
i personaly love the name shane… swoooooon*
lily / 5148 posts
Don’t care about names. It’s the guy and his personality I’m attracted to. Names are last on my list to turn me on. That’s just a weird concept to me. Lol
daffodil / 1615 posts
Hopefully if you ever meet a guy named Rick, he’s never gonna want to give you up.
guest
I’m surprised common names like Nick & Chris are not up or any names like Brandon / Bryan
rose / 853 posts
All those names are hot! Plus… KURT.
guest
Lol, clicked on this and *BAM* number one: Michael. The name of my boyfriend, and my last ex. Apparently I have an unconscious thing for Michael’s.
orchid / 189 posts
@ForeverLove_xx@xanga - Michael is my boyfriend too. It made me happy his name is first on the list.
guest
I only have 2 names that I absolutely ADORE, for guys, Cael and Caleb <3
guest
Kaleb. Benjamin. …basically anything with a K.
yum.
guest
Wait, are these reasons you like these names, or reasons why a bunch of polled 5th grader girls like them?
orchid / 235 posts
Logan :]
guest
guys that I’ve known/liked were: tony, jon, timothy, ronnie, noe(pronounced like joey) and they are all very cute, so their name which was once not that noticeable/hot are now super hot to me. it doesn’t apply to others with same names. it is a case by case basis.
guest
Allister is a very sexy name. Sounds like the name of a 1940′s fat cat James Dean look alike that you’d take one look at and say – Sir, I bequeath to you my panties. With that being said, James is also a very sexy name. The others are kinda, meh.
guest
I’m dating a Michael.
But I worked with a Garret who was a complete douche and crazy aggressive.
guest
Good List… I also really love the names Liam and Caleb!!
rose / 786 posts
The name Erik is forever ruined for me. My ex’s name is Erik and he was a jerk….My sister’s ex’s name is Eric and he was/is a jerk. My best friend’s lab partner’s name is Erik and he IS (and probably will be forever unless something drastic happens) a jerk. I’m not saying that all Erik/Eric’s are jerks. I’m just saying all the Erik/Eric’s I know are jerks.
My favorite guy name is John (it’s my boyfriend’s name and I LOVE it!)
guest
guest
one of my friend’s name is Michael.. he is pretty strong i guess, in body. very weak otherwise.
Surprised David isn’t on the list, or Nick. My family is pretty sure I’m destined to marry a Nick/David/Michael. For some reason, I don’t deviate from the names in my family… weird.
I love the name James Alexander. I think it’s a pretty solid name. Aiden is a cute name
guest
My boyfriend’s name is Robin. I make fun of him because it’s a girl’s name.
I like Damian or Darren.
guest
Aww I’ve always wanted to be Jesse’s girl too!!
guest
I like the names Jesse and James
Some other cute names would be Mason ? As for hot .. that’s a difficult one.
guest
I like William, James, Eric, Michael. I also like some indian names like Sahil and Jai. Those are nice.
daisy / 522 posts
michael scott? haha
orchid / 217 posts
I know guys with those names.. Most of them are jerks, therefore I don’t like any of them.
guest
Haha yes! My boyfriend’s name is Michael
guest
Pretty much all the names of all the guys in my family are up there…but not mine. How sad hehe. I like Michael and Cameron too. I think my Half brothers name is cameron, and my middle name was supposed to be Michael. Other than those, Allistar/er is pretty cool. Aiden/Ayden, random non popular names are always nice.
guest
Derek & Christian are my top 2.
guest
I like Julian, Erik, Derrick, Michael, Logan
guest
Ben is a pretty fantastic name, just saying
guest
I like the name Ian
rose / 903 posts
My boyfriend’s name is Michael. I love it
rose / 903 posts
@DoRi_dOrI@xanga - Haha, somehow the two names together sound like an immature, attention-whore boss.
rose / 944 posts
Derek, Patrick, and James are all great ones.
I like Xander and Dominic as well.
guest
i LOVE Ryan. Love it. Erik woulod be my preferred spelling. Allister makes me think of the demon from Supernatural. Xerxes…i don’t know if i could date a guy names Xerxes, but he better live up to that name. Hunter would probably be my next favorite on the list. but my top three are Ryan, Beau and Henry I think.
sunflower / 370 posts
Michael is my husband’s name.
I like it, of course, plus Adrian, Julian, Robert, Logan, Sean, and Lee.
sunflower / 426 posts
i like Shawn (and it has to be Shawn, not Sean or Shaun! lol! but i might be partial to it becuase thats the love of my life.)
if i have kids.. and they happen to be boys… i really like the names Vail Levi and James Dawson.
guest
I used to find the name Sean/Shawn sexy, although I haven’t really met any real guy whose name is Sean/Shawn and really sexy.
guest
Anything Slovak or Russian I love :3
Lucas, Michael, Theodore, and James are other names I love.
dahlia / 2103 posts
Oooo, Hunter. I knew a guy named Hunter once and he was freaking hot…a bass player with a Ph.D. Rawwwrrrrr. I love me a smart man. I think my boyfriend’s name is sexy: Dru. Like Drew, only cooler
guest
Sean.
guest
I love Michael and Scott… my bf is David.. I like the name still. Well his middle name is Michael =)
daisy / 647 posts
I’m not too fond for these names. Then again I love foreign names more so than the common ones in the states.
daisy / 597 posts
@MoonFaeEyryan@xanga - Or, it proves that I like the name Xerxes
lol… To be honest tho, a few of these names are just names that I REALLY REALLY like, and are not so swoon worthy
daisy / 597 posts
@jatriciapung - LOVE Hunter… Vincet, so so… Roy is actually on my icky ones, the original post also had names that I DON’T like, lol, lovelyish sort of removed them. Oh well.
daisy / 597 posts
@CoolXwhip@xanga - Which is interesting because so do I!
I spell Damien — like that but, I love both. When I was a kid, my parents argued with me and said that Aiden wasn’t a name… uh… Quinn? It means little fiery one. They were amazed. haha.
daisy / 597 posts
@rachell13@xanga - Want to name a son William, if I ever have one. Nickname will be “Billy the Kid”
The original post also had names I don’t like
OH well, lovelyish took it away.
daisy / 597 posts
@HeLLo_Bianca@xanga - Actually, I think if you look at poles and stuff, more common names are names like Daniel, David, Chris, John, etc.
The original post also had ten names that I Don’t like
daisy / 597 posts
@sparkleworm@xanga - I’m down with all three.
My original had ones that I didn’t like too, but lovelyish edited
daisy / 597 posts
@npr32486@xanga - le’ gasp! GaZUCKS you’re right! I will have to tell you… I totally thought of Nicholas, but I ended up not adding it, lest this list get too long, and Lovelyish already edited my post and removed the 10 names that I DON’T like… Robin is actually a character from a story I’m writing (so are a few of these other names), and Nicholas is as well, and honestly, I was so tempted to put it there… But, you see, if I had a been a boy, it was also the name that they were going to give to me!
Let’s go like this – 21 – Nick/Nicholas
daisy / 597 posts
@Hinase@xanga - Perhaps… until you date someone named Qweeter Probasco… (real name… true story…)
daisy / 597 posts
@phuck_diz_shiz@xanga - I have a thing for names that are less common. It’s perhaps a tad odd, but as a writer, I like names that are a bit more unique, some that I just flat out make up. Anyways, they removed my ten names that I don’t like they’re on the original:(
daisy / 597 posts
@AimeeFrying@xanga - LOVE Cale
daisy / 597 posts
@delication@xanga - One of my many novels bears a character named Allister… he’s… interesting…
daisy / 597 posts
@bAbiiExxPiNay@xanga - Robin is not a girls name, it is a unisex name. If anything, it’s history actually might have made it a boy’s name FIRST (Robin Hood?)
daisy / 597 posts
@design3rskyline@xanga - I know tons of David’s and Daniels, and I have a thing for names not quite so common. I did consider Nicholas tho.
daisy / 597 posts
@CHRiSTiNE_x@xanga - LOVE Christian.
daisy / 597 posts
@someone_burned_the_church@xanga - Beau was on my hate list >_> Which lovelyish removed.
lily / 5148 posts
@Winsa@xanga - Still wouldn’t matter to me.
daisy / 597 posts
@needmoreink@xanga - lol!!! THat is great.
daisy / 597 posts
@Hinase@xanga - OOOOOOOOOOOOOKAy… I sort of agree with you just so you know. But, the post wasn’t about how I wouldn’t date someone if their name was sometihng I didn’t like, it was about names that I think are hot
orchid / 109 posts
@Winsa@xanga - Bravo! You have quite redeemed yourself =)
daisy / 597 posts
@npr32486@xanga - Ah, thank you thank you… maybe it’s just my inner Nick coming out XD
guest
I never heard of the name Allister until I started playing Dragon age. I like Caleb too.
orchid / 155 posts
I love the name Nathan or Joshua. Those are sexy names to me!
lily / 5148 posts
@Winsa@xanga - I have no preference for names. I don’t find names hot. I just think that is a bit odd.
sunflower / 447 posts
I actually don’t like any of these names, and some of them I distinctly dislike! Haha oh well, to each her own I suppose
ranunculus / 3285 posts
I love Ryan.

orchid / 130 posts
My boyfriend’s name is Michael.
<3
guest
my boyfriend’s name is dan and i like that name even though its common
guest
i love the name xavier , dylan & warren
guest
I’ve had the “pleasure” of dating two Ryans…both of whom were assholes.
My moms boss’s husbands name is Ryan as well…he, is also an asshole.
Just don’t like the name :]
guest
This list has too many common names for me. Though I will agree with the name James!
But the name Michael to start it off, kind of put me off. My dad’s name is Michael. haha
guest
I love names that are spelled differently. I reeeaaally love the name Karson.
guest
What about Mal? It means “evil” or “bad” in french! Thats gotta be worth something
hydrangea / 69 posts
Gabriel….mmmmm
guest
Dimitri <3
^you have nooooooooooooo idea how much i love that name..
guest
Bobby.
guest
i have a lot hate relationship with the name Michael. I love the name, but I’ve dated three different guys named Michael. One cheated on me. One never talked to me. & The other dumped me on Valentines day. So I tent to stay away from Michaels, haha.. I’m dating an Adam right now. I like his name.
My top three names though are:Joshua, Bradin, & Nathan
guest
Derek is a great name, my bf’s name.
hydrangea / 81 posts
I like sam, /i think its supercute
guest
Juggernaut!!!! i joke.
guest
woot my name is number 17
guest
I’m I’m pretty sure if I find a person hot, it’s going to be for a better reason than their name.
That said, I’m unfailingly attached to Dorian Gray. Mostly because I love the character though.
guest
I’m attracted to classic names which are short and sweet like Alex, Eric, Max, Mark/Marcus, Tristan, Nathan, Martin, Lex, Tae, most of Angelina Jolie’s kids’ names (Maddox, Pax.)
I guess I have an affinity for guys with names that starts with ‘M’ or ends in ‘X’, lol.
Though Jayden is a gorgeous name too.
guest
I am glad you said Ryan. I would put that on my list too if I had one.
guest
I think you left out “Andrew”
Yeah… pretty sure that one got misplaced.
guest
my boyfriends name is michael! yes! sexy name award!
guest
i know someone with each name you listed but 4, and some are definitely duplicated (that i know). so to me, since i grew up with those names all around me they don’t seem so hot. i’ve dated a michael and eric. i know lots of eric’s, michael’s, peter’s, matthew’s, patrick’s, jason’s, garret’s… ect, the ones i don’t know are 2, 7, 13, 17.
my favorite names are Landon and Demetri(ous)
guest
My boyfriend is a Michael as well
I like the name Ryan a lot. Might be a little biased because it’s my middle name (spelled Riane though).
I don’t like the names Paul or Peter. Or Robert, though it’s my guy’s middle name…oops.
How you feel about a name has a lot to do with people you’ve encountered with it, though, whether in person or in books/movies etc.
guest
I like Jack and Kieran.
guest
Jeremy. I haven’t even met anyone named Jeremy before, but I just love that name. I love J names in general.
guest
Every Garrett I’ve ever met has been a douche bag.
And try Crawford on for size.
guest
Andrew, Sylar, and Brandon are the names I think are hot
guest
If a guy told me is name was Xerxes I would roll my eyes and assume his parents were emo morons, LMAO. Just me.
I love the names Scott and Jesse. Rick is for gay guys.
guest
BOO Derrick? It’s DEREK! Now that’s a good name
guest
the little descriptions about why you like those names made me laugh ahhaha i liked this post
guest
I always loved the name Benedict… so sexy Idk why
guest
hahahah me n my friends usually use the name xerxes as synonymous with a boss. or being bossy. coz of xerxes in 300 hahahh but yeah it does sound like a cool name. i have yet to find a real guy named xerxes. hahaha
btw i loooooooove the name Evan and James. they sound hawt.
guest
1,3 and 8 are all names of guys i’ve liked or currently liked. i have dated some guys whose names are on the list which makes the name unattractive to me.
guest
Haha, I have to frown upon Scott because every Scott I’ve ever met has ended up being a tool, but my top two are James and Nick. I also love Theo, short for Theodorus, because it strikes me as super-manly. Xerxes is the same way. Just kick-ass.
guest
I’ve always thought the name Travis was kinda sexy sounding.
guest
My son’s name is Elijah John (I love the name Elijah and it’s easy to shorten into Eli and John is after my fiance’s uncle). I like these names because they’re good strong biblical names and there aren’t too many bad Elijah’s or Eli’s in the world (I mean what are kids going to tease him as Elijah Wood?(well I guess they could call him Frodo but by the time he’s in school that movie will be ancient lol) Eli Manning?
guest
I think I would love the name Michael more if it weren’t my brother’s name…I just can’t think of it as sexy when I connect it to my bro. XP I have always loved the name “Eric” though, oh yes. I also really like Daniel and Jonathan (Jonathan always reminds me of the great guy I had a big crush on in high school, and how his best friend always called him “Johnny”…I so badly wanted to be on “Johnny” terms with this guy. :] )
“Jensen” is a nice guy name, too. Very nice.
guest
gotta disagree wit this
guest
I don’t have any names I find particularly sexy, but I do have names that I immediately cringe at when hearing lol (Eric and Scott are two of those)
guest
My boyfriend’s name is Jason James… two hits!
guest
yeah. I have to agree with Matthew. (my husband’s name)
I also like Gabriel and Aleister (not turn ons but names I want to use if for some reason we have 2 boys) We already decided on Gabriel but got to use the name we picked for a girl instead
Darius, Aleister and Anton are some of my favorites (Aleister Crowley, Anton S. LaVey)
sunflower / 334 posts
how many of these are because of guys/celebrities you know are attractive?
guest
I love the name Daniel. It’s a strong name, but also has a soft side to it.
I also love the name Josiah…i’m going to name my kid that once i have one.
guest
Oh and i play League of Legends…so i don’t like the name Alister. He’s an ugly character xD A freaking bull. Thats all i can think about when i hear that name LOL
guest
Yesssss, my first name’s on the list!!!
guest
I like Michael, Cameron (Cam Gigandet, holla!), Erik or
Erick!, Ryan, and Taylor.I would like to add Nikhil, Aiden, Riley and to the list.
Lol allister? What? Haha and I don’t like Robin
for guys
orchid / 153 posts
no personal offense meant, but this is one of the dumbest posts ive ever read…
guest
I’m so glad Patrick is on this list. I am dating a boy named Patrick
guest
I’d have to disagree with most of those names, for one reason or another.
Michael would be hot if I didn’t think of my little brother every time! :p And “Garret” just reminds me of a douche-y kind of guy I know..
I like Ryan and Erin
..And possible Ian. Heh.
guest
Eric, Michael, and Matthew: I dislike.
Xerxes is awesome. I very much like the name Bryan (with a y, not an i), and a couple of others. Alexander is a great name as well.
guest
I *really* like Christian sounding names.. The more popular ones anyway, nothing like Ibikiahzeameshal or whatever. -_-” I like Daniel, Gabriel, Elijah, Nathaniel, Abraham, Joseph… SOOO HOT.
Some non christian names I like are Andrew (I’ve NEVER met an ugly Andrew.. I’m sure there are some out there, I’ve just never met any… hehee), BEAUREGARD (would never name my child this though… ahhhhhhh I just like how it rolls off the tongue and sounds so classy), Tristan… hahaa
guest
BTW, this is a really funny post haha =) You remind me of my spastic friend.. Write more lovelyish posts please!
guest
And I just read through the comments.. Argh sorry for the triple post, but I just have to put in a few more names!! Cuz I know you care about my favorite names so much!!
I love the names Evan, Travis, KYLE…. Can’t believe no one mentioned Kyle yet (unless I read over it..). Kyles ARE HOT…… Maybe a bit douchey….. but still HOTTTTTT haha. Preston is a cute one too.. like a preppy kind of cute.
guest
Some of these were quite sexy esp. Allister.. But my top five male names would definitely have to be:
1. Monroe
2. Sebastian
3. Elias
4. Mihael
5. Jitae
guest
@CoolXwhip@xanga - omg yeah Damian. that just exudes hot. aiden haha like sex and the city.
guest
i like darren and jake and peter
