Attn: Everyone / Attractive sounding name
Does anyone know what the most attractive sounding name is from any surveys or studies. I am looking for the most attractive male name as well as female. Complete names including middle and last name would be nice.
Thank You

The most attractive-sounding names will surely be the most popular names at any given time? Most attractive to the majority of namers, anyway.There have been some studies on how names affect people's perceptions of people. This is a nice, easy one - you duplicate an essay and give it to a room full of student teachers to grade; everyone gets the same essay, but the "name" of the writer gets changed. As far as I recall, for boys Ryan and David outperform Mervyn and Reggie; don't remember any girl examples, but you get the idea.
