It's weird. I am straight, like 98% straight at least, but every few months or so I meet a girl/woman/female who is so shockingly beautiful and sexy that I get nervous around her. It is not attraction, it is just "Wow, this chick is really sexy." Gertrude and Olga are names like that, that make my heart quicken a little. There is something just Feminine Sexual about them.

I can certainly recognize the fact that another woman is beautiful or pretty, just not sexy. And I've never met a woman in real life that was so shockingly beautiful that I get nervous around her. The only women I've ever considered really beautiful, not just pretty, are actresses or models I've only seen pictures of. I can appreciate a beautiful face, but I just cannot find anything the least bit sexual about another woman. I just can't think of one as sexy.
My guy friend is the same way, I guess. Don't bother ever asking him if he thinks another man is good-looking or attractive. He always says the same thing: "I've never seen a pretty man." I think most men are that way, actually, and that LuzDeTuVida's friend is the exception.

Definitely! Women, just like men, gaze at women as well. It's an image and we're either attracted or not attracted to it. It's no so much do with sexual orientation. You're awesome for saying that!
As my heterosexual friend once said, "Sometimes when I see a beautiful woman I always have to glance back at her and then I think about her!"
My undergrad's in film so I know how the media and life is constructed around visual pleasure! :P

I agree one hundred percent...
I even have a guy friend who admits that he experiences this with guys and he always thinks that he's gay because of it, but he's definitely not. I'm a very visual person and I simply can just really appreciate the human form, whether male or female. I'm straight, but I think women are beautiful, and sometimes sexy, and I don't think it's anything to be ashamed of. I think it's more about a passion for the human body and for all things visual. Names I sometimes consider too...sexed up to use as first names in my mind are Tanith (it means serpant lady) which my guy friend said was really sexy too and definitely Vered. It means Rose and has the word "red" right in it, which I would have used as a nickname. Red is ridiculously stimulating in my mind.
I also see Azeneth on a girl that's ridiculously beautiful beyond belief, and I think that some fairly common names would seem newly beautiful if they were on the right girl. Eve would be seductive on a raw, natural beauty, bringing to mind the Eve in Genesis. Helen on a calm, elegant beauty would bring alive Helen of Troy, which would be heavenly.
I'm melting just thinking about all these sexy names! = ]
