Baby Name Poll Results
Weird Question vs. Miles vs. Marianne
I always think of my children’s names as adults, even in dating situations, and don’t want to choose names that seem unappealing to a potential partner. If that makes any sense...
What do you and/or your spouses think of these names, in these terms?
I asked about them a few days ago, but, not about this specific quality. Any thoughts? Sorry if this seems weird! Lol!

I think you are overthinking this waaaayyyy too much. I know people can be superficial, but if a potential partner finds your child’sname "unappealing", they probably aren’t worth your child’s time. Think of the cringe-worthy surnames out there that spouses take on. You do it out of love.

I know I am overthinking this, but, I have experience of people being this way. I help my SIL look for potential guys on a dating website and she is vert superficial about their names. I will find someone who seems like a great match and if she doesn’t like their name, she won’t even look at their profile. I know it is crazy and superficial and I do not share her same opinions, but, I now know that people actually have these thoughts. :-/

You don’t really date a person based on his/her name. Personality and for some people looks are way more important than a person’s name. That is why there are pet names.

Maybe it’s a good thing for those whose profiles are being passed over, that they avoid such a superficial person.
Miles is cute, in a geeky-cool sort of way.
Marianne is nice, but seems like a name from a different time frame.

Miles is handsome.I don’t see any issues there.
Marianne? I’m not sure.I think some people could possibly stereotype a Marianne as being a "goody goody"

Marianne is an unsexy name. I imagine a little sister from the 1950s, not an adult. I can imagine Miles being both a cute child and then a sexy and mature adult.

I absolutely adore Marianne! Very sweet and grows so well from child into adulthood. It also reminds me of Jane Austen’s Sense & Sensibility. ❤

Miles yes it’s appealing. Marianne. No it’s not appealing. I would date someone named Eustace Eugene if he had a great heart, sense of humor, and a fun personality. You are overthinking. Name your children w.e you find appealing and stop trying to please everyone else because you never will.

Thank you everyone! I know this is a weird and ridiculous question, so I appreciate you all answering. Like I mentioned, before my experiences I may not have put much thought into this, it just began to sneak into my thoughts that this may be a bigger deal than I ever imagined. Thanks! :-)

I think Miles is a sexy name. Marianne a bit stodgy. However, this is going to be 15+ years in the future so names may take on different qualities between now and then. Like Ramses--used to like that name and now it’s associated with a horrifically cruel, unhinged narcissist due to Game of Thrones. And I named my son Callum last year and now there’s a movie out about an assassin named Callum. Not sure whether that will tip the perception of his name or not...
