You'd be surprised by how much power a name holds by itself. Without even meeting a person, just hearing their name can make you feel a certain type of way. Some names make you feel warm and bubbly inside, while others give off a mysterious, appealing aura that makes you attracted to it. It's hard to say why, but here are 10 male names women frequently describe as sexy, and 10 friendlier ones that give boy-next-door vibes. Do you agree with our list?
1. Rafael
It's always hard to tell what it is in a name that makes it so attractive, but the name Rafael has always been a stand-out for women. Giving off a bit of exotic charm, Rafael has a nice flow to it, rolling off the tongue in an alluring and sexy way.
2. Javier
As long as you pronounce this name correctly, meaning you better not use a harsh J sound, it's easy to see why so many women have fallen in love with it. Javier gives off this mysterious, almost enchanting vibe that pulls you right in.
3. Dominic
Watched too much Fast & Furious lately, have we? We're just joking. Although Dominic Toretto is an attractive movie character thanks to Vin Diesel, the name itself already wins a lot of attraction points. There's something strong and powerful about this name, and when women link that to confidence and charisma, it's incredibly appealing.
4. Alexander
It's funny how sometimes, longer versions of names can come off as more sexy compared to their short counterparts. While many women claim Alex comes off as friendly, Alexander is a different story. There's a lovely softness to the name that flows beautifully, coming across as very sexy according to women online.
5. Matteo
Isn't there just something unexplainably romantic about the name Matteo? We can't quite put our finger on it but the best word we can think of to describe it is suave. We can easily see this name being used for a handsome prince in any Disney movie.
6. Callum
Somewhere in between giving off gentle yet strong vibes, you really get the best of both worlds with a name like Callum. While the softness of the name suggests a more caring and nurturing side, there's a manliness to it too that makes it feel sturdy. If you're a woman who appreciates a bit of both strength and kindness in a name, this one's definitely right up your alley.
7. Luca
Short, snappy, and to the point, Luca is a name that just oozes effortless coolness. Maybe it's the Italian charm, but this name has got women all over it.
8. Sebastian
If the name Sebastian immediately makes you think of the lovable crab in "The Little Mermaid," this name might not feel the sexiest to you. But for everyone else who appreciates its sophisticated feel, you likely see the appeal. Whether its the regal tone that draws you in or the graceful sound of it, it's hard to deny that it's an attractive name.
9. Alejandro
Something about the letter "J" in a name just gives it an oomph of sexiness! With Javier and Alejandro both on this list, can you disagree? Alejandro is a name that feels intensely passionate and romantic. It might be thanks to the way Lady Gaga sings it in her hit song, "Alejandro," but we'd definitely call this name a sexy one.
10. Flynn
Thanks to Disney's incredibly handsome hero Flynn Rider in "Tangled," it's not hard for us to see what's so sexy about this name. It gives off a playful and roguish charm that is irresistible for plenty of women.
1. Eli
If we could pack friendly and approachable into a name, it'd definitely be Eli. Just saying the name radiates warmth and kindness, don't you think? It's hard to explain why, but it's the perfect name that encapsulates the boy-next-door image. We can’t ask for a more down-to-earth name than that.
2. Isaiah
Isaiah is a name that's got a cute ring to it, making it feel familiar and comforting. Maybe it's the way all the letters produce soft sounds, but there's something trustworthy about the name itself.
3. Spencer
Giving off friendly next door neighbour vibes, Spencer just brings a smile to everyone's face. The name just has an inherent bubbly nature to it, making it feel as if anyone who has this name is a ball of positive energy.
4. Milo
Doesn't the name Milo almost give off puppy dog energy? By that we mean the name seems playful, energetic, and spirited. We'd expect someone with this name to have a cheerful nature to them that makes everyone else feel comfortable and content. It's as if he carries a "good vibes only" sign with him at all times.
5. Leo
We don't know about you, but a lot of women online claimed Leo is a male name that just exudes a warm and sunny personality. We can easily picture someone with this name to be easygoing and kind-hearted; it's kind of crazy how much a name can have on first impressions!
6. Beck
If you like names that give off a cool yet approachable energy, we're almost positive you'd like the name Beck. While it doesn't quite give off sexy vibes, it does have a nice relaxing demeanor to it that makes it feel familiar and safe.
7. Remy
You don't hear the name Remy very often, but hearing it this once, what does it make you feel? For us, there's a sort of fun, whimsical nature to the name that still feels welcoming. Remember Remy from "Ratatouille"? His character definitely captures these vibes!
8. Noah
Noah is quite the popular boy's name and it's easy to see why. It's short and sweet, easily radiating a kind and gentle energy that women can appreciate. If this isn't a boy-next-door kind of name, we don't know what is.
9. Andy
Thanks to the Toy Story franchise, the name Andy instantly reminds us of our childhood. Perhaps that's why there's something so familiar and comforting about this name. Andy just seems like the kind of guy who'd help you out no matter what chance he gets.
10. Jesse
Jesse just feels like a name for someone who loves to vibe with like-minded, carefree, down-to-earth people. There's such a nice relaxed tone to the name, and it almost feels as if everyone had a friendly next-door neighbour named Jesse. It just gives off that feel!
