What’s in a name? Quite a lot, actually. The right name can make a great first impression, while others might not be as favorable. We’ve explored 15 names that, according to a lot of women, resonate positively with them and those that don’t. Do you agree with these?
Norman — Unappealing
To some, Norman sounds like war. Maybe it’s because it easily reminds them of the Norman Conquest. While it’s a name rooted in history, many women might prefer more charmy names.
James — Loved
There are many reasons James remains a preferred name today. It’s easy to pronounce, and one of today’s most beloved characters, James Bond, bears it. Plus, it doesn’t seem like the name will lose its appeal anytime soon.
Herbert — Unappealing
When many women hear Herbert, they have said that they often picture a man from past generations—probably a strict guy who would love to join the military and spend years away from his country.
Noah — Loved
While some people from the early days of the Bible may have considered Noah a day to mock before the flood came, many women of today are in love with it. This is the kind of gentle name women want, one with a soothing sound and easy to pronounce.
Eugene — Unappealing
Many women associate it with intellectual and artistic qualities, perhaps due to famous bearers of the name in literature and science. Even though it has a timeless appeal, some women today might prefer names that feel more modern and dynamic.
Liam — Loved
It is so calming to pronounce the name Liam—short and romantic. This is one of those names you can just roll around your mouth when you’re bored for the fun of it. Many women believe the name, which has Irish origins, implies that the man is a protector.
Melvin — Unappealing
Although the name Melvin has a straightforward and solid sound, many women today might seek names that feel more modern and dynamic. Melvin’s simplicity might come across as too plain, lacking the uniqueness that many find appealing in contemporary names.
Ben — Loved
This name has often been associated with friendliness and approachability. Its simplicity makes it easy to pronounce, which many women find appealing. Whether as a standalone name or a shortened version of Benjamin, Ben has remained a timeless charm.
Clarence — Unappealing
If Clarence were your name one decade ago, you’d have been in women’s good books. Now, it’s like a relic trophy held by a team clinging to past glory and likely not to win a cup anytime soon.
Ethan — Loved
It may not be a very popular name, but it’s appealing to the feminine world. The name sounds so straightforward—and isn’t that what women want in men these days? It also means strength, and women will hardly say no to a strong knight in shiny armor.
Alfred — Unappealing
This is a respectable name with a history of holding important societal roles. One of the most popular bearers of the name, Alfred the Great, was a king for 15 years, but today, it ranks high among old-fashioned and stiff male names.
Daniel — Loved
The legend of Daniel is such an inspiring story that many parents didn’t have to think twice before giving his name to their children. While the positivity it represents from the Bible is one reason women love it, the name also sounds homely.
Edgar — Unappealing
Edgar feels like a name straight out of a classic literature book or a history class. You know, the knight who goes on a mission to rescue his king’s bride kind of vibe, right? Women may love some good literature, but they might not be thrilled about a man with a name from centuries ago.
Alexander — Loved
You may not know much about Alexander the Great, but know this: women love the name. The name sounds like royalty. It reeks of sophistication. If that’s your name, you shouldn’t hesitate to introduce yourself with it when you meet a woman.
Wilfred — Unappealing
Wilfred often exudes an old-world charm and is often associated with a bygone era. Many women today find it a bit too dated and prefer names that resonate with modern sensibilities and feel fresh and current.
