Does a person's name effect their attractiveness? I don't really think so, but I'm just musing on it and wondering if a person's name could ever be ugly enough to make you think twice about dating them.

My mom always jokes that she had to really love my dad before she could resign herself to marrying a "Bart".

My current boyfriend is named Larry, which I don't like, but he is gorgeous and wonderful so I let it go :D

Then again, my name is Maggie, which is widely regarded as either an old lady's name, or a dog's name.

Guys I've dated in the past:
Alex
Ryan
Marcos
Brendan
Curtis
Andrew (who I always called Andy and apparently he hated it but he never told me until after we broke up!)
Josh
Luke
Mike
Marcus
Lino
Ian
Roy
Steve
Adam

Most of those are just the whole high school "kay we're dating now so we'll talk on the phone after school sometimes and not really do much more than that about it" kind of dating.

But anyway I guess it's just interesting because with babies we worry so much about a pretty name. You worry about other things too, what it means maybe or something, but in the end you'll never pick a name you don't like the sound of. But then when you meet someone, if you don't like their name, it doesn't really matter, does it?

I don't really know where I'm going with this, haha, it's just something I was thinking about because Larry is such an unattractive name.

Incidentally, picture a guy you'd expect to be named Larry... But mine is Mexican! Bet that's not what came to mind, huh?

eh, i've dated 7 total, and i'm 20. 3 of which were Michael's. However, none of them were "serious" and by dating I mean 5 months was the most, and 4 dates the least. :D
