    Calm down Maura it's only AH!

    *shivers* Point taken, Maura is a hideous name. Still though saying a Natasha is a slut based on her name is dreadful.

    Natasha = Sexy???

    Up for it yes, but not sexy
    "they call her Natasha, but she looks like Elsie..." :D

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    To get to the thrust of my point, why is it that Laura is a sexy name but Maura definitely isn't? Almost the same name, yet one conjures up images of sexy gals and the other most certainly does not.

    In general, some names are just plain sexy.

    Sabrina
    Belinda
    Sheryl
    Victoria
    Carla
    Lisa
    Natasha
    Claudia


    and others aren't. What's the story with that?

    C'm 'ere to me Sabreeeenah... Ah heeeeeaaar, Beleendah ... yer bleedin' goorgeous, Victoreeeah... Ah jaysus Natashaaaaaah....


    Stunningly sexy names, each and every one of them. Take me up to Monto.

    Svetlana is a Scandinavian Au Pair.
    She's very free spirited and doesn't believe in wearing clothes around the house.

    Max Power, he's the man who's name you'd love to
    touch! But you mustn't touch! His name sounds good in your
    ear, but when you say it, you mustn't fear! 'Cause his name can be said by anyone!

    its all relative to the people you meet in your life,

    i liked elizabeth as a name, until a neighbour of my mothers named her daughter it,


    hearing her yelling loudly Elis-a-bit every day, really makes the name grate now,


    ditto for darragh, hearing the flat cork accent calling them would put you off any name ending in y or ah(agh), like Tiffany, sarah, bethany, darragh...etc,

    as for your names short of knowing people with them in real life different generations generate different images depending on popular culture
    Sabrina -most commonly associated with the teenage witch by a certain generation
    Belinda - carlisle by the 80's crowd so thats who's they'd imagine
    Sheryl - would remind youthful generation of cheryl cole (singer) or Sheryl Crow (singer) or Sheryl in home and away (braxtons scummy gambling addict mother)
    Victoria i assume majority think of Victoria beckham
    Carla - Coronation street would be guilty for a brunette image constantly grimacing - carla connor
    Lisa - Simpsons, most of us grew up with it so it stands out in most heads.
    Natasha - bedingfield for the 90's kids/teens
    Claudia - carrol Blonde actress from fair city for irish people who've seen that soap id imagine


    its all relative to your experiences, tv shows, celeb exposure....etc to me names like James, George, Eoghan are sexy, michael, sean, toby are most def not!

    When someone knows a person by them names, then it will give them a different image than someone else.

    One of us might know a Georgina that's sexy but then another might know a Georgina who's a rotten looking yolk.

    Which will naturally conjure up opposite images of a name to each person. :o

    Only to a certain extent though. There are some names that just don't lend themselves to hotness.

    Has anyone ever met an attractive Cecil? How about a sexy Gertie? I don't think so!

    Also, Victoria? I think Queen Victoria. Not that sexy was she? Anything with a British Royal connotation doesn't work for me.

    Katarzyna sounds a lot sexier than Kasia imo :P

    Kasia sort of reminds me of Kesha... eergh.
