The top 10 sexiest names for online dating have been revealed

No JOE!? We cry shenanigans.

No JOE!? We cry shenanigans.

What’s in a name? This is a question that has troubled philosophers, expecting parents and single people everywhere.

This writer has actually met girls and guys who have flat out refused to date people that have the same name as an ex of theirs while some people might find certain names like Cornelius, Dexter and Gobnait to be slightly less sexy than others.

We still think that they’re lovely names.

Tinder, Plenty of Fish and creeping on Facebook have all become accepted dating practices but it seems that a lot is riding on your name.

Happn, a hyperlocal dating app that’s based in London, has recently surveyed its users for a list of the names that they found were the most attractive on the app.

Curious to know if you made the top 10?

Here’s the most sexified names when it comes to online dating.
