Since at least the time of Shakespeare, people have been wondering whether a name does, in fact, make something smell sweeter.

There's no denying that your name can affect the way you are perceived by others, and seeing the way this plays out in situations like dating is fascinating.

So which names do people find most attractive?

Dating app The Grade crunched the data on around 100,000 users and came up with a list of the most desired names for both men and women. To do this, they looked at the percentage of "yes" or "no" swipes for a given name (the app's interface is similar to Tinder).

They also looked at what names those people were likely to match with (i.e. Aprils tend to match with Toms).

Women's names Brianna, Erika, and Lexi took the top spots, while Brett, Tyler, and Corey headed up the mens section. And special congratulations to Zachary and Zack (and Jeff and Jeffrey), with both variations cracking the top 15.
