http://trak.in/news/girls-named-chantelle-men-named-dave-most-likely-to-have-first-date-sex/8111/"London, September 26 (ANI): Men think girls named ‘Chantelle’ are most likely to have sex on the first date, a new UK survey has found.Also names ‘Stacey’ and ‘Kelly’ seem to make blokes believe that they have a chance of getting laid faster.Opinions of men aged between 18 and 28 years were taken by OnePoll, which carried out the survey of 4,000 people.Seemingly, ‘Chantelle’ ranked top because of busty Celebrity Big Brother star Chantelle Houghton, while ‘Stacey’ was voted second due to the men’s perception of character Stacey Slater, who sleeps with her father-in-law in the show EastEnders.The other names that appeared in the list are Chelsea, Tanya, Debs, Becky and Vicki.Meanwhile, girls think guys named Dave, Lee, Steve and Darren are most likely to try it on quickly.“It is interesting, although it’s not particularly good news if your name is Chantelle or Stacey,” the Sun quoted spokesperson of OnePoll as saying.The rep added: “It’s intriguing how different names have different connotations these days.“I am sure many of the blokes we polled haven’t managed to get someone called Chantelle into bed – but they seem to like their chances.“It might be a productive weekend for potential bed-hoppers called Dave, Lee and Steve.”Girls Likely To Have Sex On A First Date1 Chantelle; 2 Stacey; 3 Kelly; 4 Chelsea; 5 Tanya; 6 Debs; 7 Becky; 8 Vicki; 9 Lisa; 10 Michelle.Men Likely To Have Sex On A First Date1 Dave; 2 Lee; 3 Steve; 4 Darren; 5 Andy; 6 Gary; 7 Danny; 8 Jason; 9 Kevin; 10 Callum.

Why does the writer of this article insist that having a so-called "slutty" name is something to be proud of? It's almost as bad as that one article that sid girls with names like Kelsey are "sexy" and girls with names like Martha are ugly. *eye roll*

UGHJustUGH UGH UGHThat's disgusting.Seemingly, ‘Chantelle’ ranked top because of busty Celebrity Big Brother star Chantelle Houghton, while ‘Stacey’ was voted second due to the men’s perception of character Stacey Slater, who sleeps with her father-in-law in the show EastEnders.'Seemingly?' Though certainly these people/characters probably help with the stereotypes of their names, I would've thought Stacey and Chantelle would have those stereotypes for many other reasons; I mean, I can't imagine ONE example of a name would color everyone's perceptions so much, especially when they're fairly common names.I also can't help thinking, particularly in the case of Stacey, that she was given the name because show writers thought that was an appropriately "slutty" name, which would indicate she wasn't the stereotype originator. But then, I don't watch EastEnders.

I think that probably the survey was pretty dumb in the first place. I bet it was like "Out of the names on this list, who is most likely to sleep with you on the first date"? I probably would have picked Chantelle too, if I was forced to choose, yanno? I do not think people actually automatically think Chantelles all put out.
