    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?

    I don't think sexy when I hear Laura. It sounds like an oulwans name to me.

    Point being, it's a bit subjective.

    Carla - meh
    Lisa - ordinary
    Natasha - tattoed knacker
    Claudia - nice.

    Belinda sounds like a serial cat owner. The rest are kind of sexy, especially Carla and Sabrina.

    Well, I guess Maura would be an sort of name more common in use a few decades ago. Sort of moniker you'd associate with your granny or great aunt, like Margaret or Bridie (sorry to any Margarets or Bridies reading this).

    Not really feeling any of the names you've listed there, I'm afraid. I think Irish girls' names tend to be amongst the nicest; there's just something very pretty about their phonetics. Bit of the cellar door about them.

    What I think when I hear those names

    Sabrina - witch
    Belinda - someone with big big hair
    Sheryl - the fat one from the Royle family
    Carla - that ugly Trollop on Coronation St.
    Lisa - Simpson
    Natasha - ok I'll concede that one.
    Claudia - ok I'll give you that one too

    Sabrina Unemployed, was named after the tv show
    Belinda Has poor hygiene, smells
    Sheryl Dark hair, was once attractive but is now old and wears clothes a much younger person would wear. Hangs around bars.
    Victoria Posh, has an annoying voice
    Carla Sexy, independant. Doesn't need no man.
    Lisa Boring
    Natasha Really hot, black hair, not the brightest
    Claudia Weird, has a pet parakeet


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

    This is what I imagine the above to be like from their name.

    Is Lance sexy? I don't know about that one. Tom, Luke, Adam, Conor, Jonathan, Jack, Dan and... Paddy, strangely are.

    Unattractive names are Chris, Pat, Liam, Martin, Tony, Aonghus, Fergus, Finbar, Frank, P.J., Darren, Bernard, Barry, Larry, and Cyril.

    Androgynous names like Vivian are out.
