Is my real name, Allen more sexy than my forum name guy321? Allen has 2 front vowels, where guy has a back vowel!!



Men with "front vowels" in their names -- sounds formed at the front of the mouth like the "a" in Matt -- were considered sexier than men with "back vowel" sounds like the "au" in Paul, she concluded.

Thank goodness you weren't named Ira, or some other female-sounding name! :p

Your forum name has more back vowels than front vowels..

NO WONDER!

Yep, getting it in the back is MUCH better :p

I'd have to disagree :p

neither name is sexy sorry. :p

Booby is sexy. I wonder why no one is named bOOby?? :)

Booby is sexy for a girl. guys have to have front vowel names/.

naw, i don't think allen or guy is particularly sexy...if you were named antonio banderas, i'd agree, but not allen...i think allen is comparable to jeffrey or robert...

Damn, now i'm hearbroken :(

Thank goodness you weren't named Ira, or some other female-sounding name! :p


.....or Caroll for that matter!

Hilda, Gertrude, or Ethel for females isn't naturally appealing either

You didnt read the article did you..

Ummmm......what article?

All the names that BRx8 wrote are bad because of the vowels are in the back. Personally, I have nothing against the 'back'! :D :D Rotary Nut is very masculine! Must be the nut :confused: :D

My name is referencing a common household cleanser and therefore, very sexy.

My name (MadRonin) means I'm insane and I walk along the waves. I don't know if it's sexy or not, but it's mine damnit! :D

Back voweles are good for girl names tho!

Matthew Paul, my first name is sexy:) but my middle name isn't.:( I thought it was funny that she used both of my names in her article too, didn't leave room for me to assume anything.

Sorry guy, I was BACKwards :p

Andrew is a hotter name then allen :P

zoom44 is front vowels and charlie has one front and one back. so do the ones in charlie cancel each other?

I don't think that was a very valid analysis that they did. Heck I know people who give all of the hot-or-not people 1's no matter what. When I have gone there I always gave a lower rating to the people I kept seeing over and over (I didn't care about names, never even noticed them). Since the article is trying to base it's report on honest people, they really screwed the pooch on trying to find an honest medium.

what about Douglas Scott Rosen

Lol, it's kinda funny for me to read that since my name, in english is a girl name and in french and other languague it's not. Alexis is my name (the "S" is not pronounced in french), I'm a male but I don't know how it sounds to english people...

Kyle here!

How dare you compare me to guy!! I am too sexy for my name!:D
