According to the research, the sexiest male name is Jack with saucy films loving their lead heartthrob to carry the moniker.

Susan was one of the third sexiest women's names, sharing its ranking with Sophie, Mia, Julie, Bella and Anna.
The names in second place for the sexiest men’s monikers were Nick, James and Ben.
Peter and Joe ranked at joint third, followed by Sam for fourth.
Other sexy names include Jamie, Shane and Jacob.
Love Honey noted: “Although it didn’t make the top three, the name Sam, which ranks fourth, is arguable in a league of its own.
“Entirely due to the fact it was the name given to Patrick Swayze’s character in Ghost in 1990, which features a scene so steamy it made sloshing around a pile of cold, wet clay seem sexy.”
The study found that the most attractive men's names have vowel sounds at the front of the mouth, while sexy women’s names don’t have this.
