How your name defines you

[Limeoutsider]

The placement of the vowels in your name may rate your attractiveness differently. In a study, Linguist Amy Perfors found that men with "front vowels" such as the 'a' in 'Matt' were considered more attractive or sexy, than men with "back vowels" (such as the 'au' in 'Paul'). But for women, it's the opposite. The 'back vowels' for a woman makes them more attractive. The difference between men and women here, could be that women are seeking men who have feminine traits, such as being gentle and sensitive. Note: Men with female names tend to rate least sexy of them all.

[Limeoutsider]

That would be good if I changed my name to Lime

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

Well, my name is Damien. I'm naturally handsome, attractive, and people tell me I have charisma.

So then, this is just another validation of that? 😉 😎 😀

 

[BigJim]

Please pardon my feeble brain, but I really can't tell...

Is this supposed to be a April Fool's joke ?

Honestly, I can't tell if the report is supposed to be funny or not.

it seems silly… but I think they are perfectly serious, and kind of have a point. I mean, who sounds sexier, Tawny or Tammy? Shauna or Sally? I don’t really see it working with a man’s name tho.

(feeble brain pardoned 😉 😛 )

I'm not sure how much that has to do with anything. Case in point: There's a fellow who owns a hardware store a few towns away from me. He's in his 50's and I pray that when I hit 50 I'll still look that good. He's single and always seen dating this woman or that, pretty much just living it up. His name?

Otis Bogway.

Nah, can't see the name having much to do with it. 😎
