Are there any particular names that could turn you off from even the most attractive person, or on the flip side, make you give a second look to someone that at first glance you weren't attracted to?

Or is this a me thing?

I don't think I could discount its possibility as a subconscious thing, but I doubt it's ever been a deciding factor for whether or not I'm attracted to someone.

I have had a thing for a disproportionate amount of girls named Katie, but that's a common enough name that I imagine it's a coincidence.

Hmm... I can certainly say that I've had a thing for a disproportionate amount of girls whose names begin with the letters A or M, and to a lesser degree I tend to find C and L names attractive.

I think them having the same name as one of my parents would be offputting.

If I ever met a Belle irl who was at least somewhat attractive, it would certainly influence me positively.

There's the obviously ugly and old fashioned names that people use as parodies all the time like Bertha, Olga, Bessie, Annette, Mary, and Gertrude. So they'd have the odds stacked against them.

:p

But for me, Mary certainly carries an old fashioned and motherly sense, because literally Mother Mary, whether it's Biblical or a Beatles song.

Annette still sounds super old fashioned too. I can't recall ever hearing it on a young person.

I do have some names that can tip me a little forward, but not like suddenly find someone attractive levels. Similar cases on the reverse side as some other posts here. Might ignore someone if they have the same name as family or other sorts of connections.

On paper it kinda makes sense but in practice I'm not sure it does. Like I always called my mom "mom" y'know.

Like I've had vague interest in a girl with my mom's name before. At first I thought it was weird but yeah got to thinking about it more and reached the conclusion that it shouldn't really matter.

Never ended up dating her or anything though so who knows.

That being said I have the "old person name" problem (Gertrude etc) for sure.
