Perhaps it’s the femininity of all the vowels and the double letters. Whatever the reason, guys seem to find the name Brianna incredibly sexy. There’s Brianna Chomer, but her list of credits as an actress is both short and fairly unremarkable. To top it all off, there really aren’t very many famous Briannas bringing the name to the masses – there are quite a few social media stars that claim the name, but not many A-Listers. After all, the male version of this name, Brian, isn’t exactly a name you’d associate with sexiness. The name Brianna is Celtic, and means “strong,” and we’ve got to say – we’re kind of surprised it snagged the number one spot over more overtly sexy names, the ones favored by Italian and Spanish supermodels. Things might get a little weird in that case. To borrow a lyric from one of the most famous Taylor’s songs, Taylors will just “never go out of style.” The only issue we can see here is if you’re a guy named Taylor, like when Swift was linked romantically with Hollywood hunk Taylor Lautner. Those looking for a strong, powerful woman would do well by finding themselves a Taylor. However, according to numerology, Taylors are supposed to be fairly dominant individuals – they’re leaders, they’re determined to succeed, they have no problem putting themselves out there, and they’re just plain bold. The name itself is unisex, and has a fairly boring meaning – just literally a version of “tailor,” the occupation. Nowadays, the name Taylor conjures up an image of a leggy, talented blonde who hangs around with supermodels 24/7, someone who has a dating roster filled with super sexy, successful gentlemen.
Okay, we’re going to go ahead and blame the world’s most well-known Taylor, Miss Taylor Swift, for this one. Here are the 15 sexiest names according to The Grade – although keep in mind that it’s an American website, so the names tend to skew towards more common American monikers.
You may think a name is the last thing someone would consider when choosing a potential partner, but according to Jennifer Moss, author of The One in a Million Baby Name Book, a survey that did showed that 68% of individuals agreed a name would affect whether they chose to date someone. It has a database of over 100,000 users, and they undertook a study to find the sexiest names for both men and women by calculating the percentage of individuals who swiped “yes” and the percentage who swiped “no” in response to certain names. The Grade is a dating app that is somewhat similar to Tinder in that you swipe to show interest in potential matches. As Laura Wattenberg, author of The Baby Name Wizard stated, “we all react to names, whether we realize it or not, and it’s something we can’t turn off.” So, how do you really find out which names guys find sexiest? Well, just as The Grade. Certain names just have sex appeal and roll off the tongue well, while other names seem suited to a different time, or are just jarring to say.
A name can say a lot about a person, and even though everyone is always told never to judge a book by its cover, many individuals find themselves judging potential partners by their names.
