I asked this question in the johnbozz thread for shits and giggles and some guy suggested I make a thread.

Can you be a player with a name like Godfrey, Leonard or Harold? Does a cool name like Quincy or Ryan give you some street cred before you open your mouth?

Shouldn't be important. Even girls I know with grandma sounding names do perfectly fine, because they're cute.

Harold --> Harry/Harris
Leonard --> Leo

if one really doesn't like a name, come up with a different given name.

Shit I think if anything the weirder and more offbeat your name, the better.

In my early college years there was this really cool laid back black dude in our group who's real name was Osama, and this wasn't too long after 9-11.

Dude killed it with women.

Leonardo sounds like it wouldn't be game friendly. But then...

it depends on who's wearing the name

Some of the best players I've known have had the most common names.

But there's probably some names that wouldn't do so well for dating:

I don't think it is a big deal one way or another. What is more important is how you carry yourself, your sense of humor, your style and your confidence.

I used to think having the name Dick would be embarrassing. Now I think it would be awesome.

All those names you listed are actually pretty boss.

I'd rather be that than Kevin, Ryan, or Tyler. Or the worst ones Matt and Steve, probably the two worst names of all time.

Literally your name is like a doormat or a name that rhymes with heave and sleeve.

Quincy sounds like a gay ballet guy's name that wears oversized glasses. Also makes me think of a combination of squint and wince. Bottom drawer name.

I think of it in terms of the inverse. As in, a woman's name can be a turn on or a turn off.

Good: Sarah, Rachel, Angelica.

Bad: Bertha, Priscilla, Megan, Ashley

I like the Ashley. Kinda tries to be sweet but can be completely dominated. [Texas local research]

Quincy is a completely gay name.

I can't help myself sometimes...

Your name is not too important.
But guard you reputation with your life.

A brunette named Michelle.

Some things just go together beautifully.

I agree-Ashley is a cute name. Julia, Sarah, Isabella, Nicole, also good.

Andrea, Brenda, Rose-don't like 'em

Patty, Agnes-Nope. Definitely nope.

Males with the name Trey or Tristan tend to fucking kill it. I don't know why but it's a weird thing I've noticed.

Female Names that are definite wb: Piper(literal hidden penis joke), Jasmine, Anastasia(hnnnnnnngggggggg), Ashley(and variants), Celine, Kayla, Natasha, Megan, Lily, Kate, Alex(Alexis, Alexa, etc.), Quinn(bonus points if Asian), Zoe, Camille, Brookley, Melissa, and Caitlin.

Crazy or passable: Elizabeth(Liz, Lizzie, etc.), Jessica, Emily, Lena(and variants), Rose, Danielle, Heather, Jennifer, Amber, Anna, Sarah(usually frumpy or average), Christina, Maria, Misty, Shelby, Nicole, Michelle(hot if brunette), Kimberley, Kelly, Rachel, Katrina, and Courtney.

Wnb: Bessie, Adelle, Denise, Faith, Irene, Jorden(fat blonde girls galore), Leah, Mikayla, Olivia(really crazy or really ugly no exception), Patricia, Samantha(can be hot), and Milly.

^ I'm banging a Jasmine right now. She said she's actually named after Princess Jasmine from Alladin, which for some reason turns me on.


Another great name is Jennifer. Never met a Jennifer who wasn't hot.

Yeah Jennifer, Ashley, Jessica, Stacey, Dawn, Claudia, Mallory are pretty great names for girls. Shit, I got the whole Baby Sitters Club with me. Names like Tommie or Toni or Micah or Artemis are not gonna make the cut.

Standard guy names like Michael, John, Justin, Thomas...those are real nigga names. However, like someone said above Quincy may not be the best name for a guy unless he's 'gifted'.

I've got a pretty nice name that suits me well, probably adds like 2 pts to my SMV.

Girls with the name Claudia.



Too many hot, tall, model looking brunettes with that name, and that's when it springs right into my territory.

Worst: Agatha
Every chick I've met named Agatha is unfailingly fat and ugly

I was banging a chick a while back that had the female version of my name, something about that felt off to me. Plus it was a stupid sounding name

I have never met an ugly Nicole.

True dat. That is, until they become crack whores.

I agree about guys named Christian or Tristin or whatever tending to slay. For some reason it's true.

Trey is a funny name though. I mean it's a thing you carry around a cafeteria. It also means a 3 in cards which is low as fuck.

Claudia is a hot name.

The absolute WORST name is Kristina with a K. Hell even without a K. Every single one has been an ugly bitch whore.

Oh and one last thing. Any girl named Tammy is a slut. Do not STR or LTR for your own sanity.

And Hillary? I once knew a guy called Hillary. He wasnt a playa.

Everyone thinks my name is french, but it's a black american name. People often like to say it a lot. Not sure if it helped my game at all, but it is a talking point.

Use all your tools, not just the one between your legs.

Actually after further consideration I think this is a pretty valid question albeit from a different perspective than I originally responded to...that of the "game player" versus that of the chicks' responding to names.

I remember reading about how one's name could affect the course of one's life. Studies show that certain names for both men and women affect their lives. Here's an article re how names affect careers:

How your name affects your business career

After thinking about the concept of guy's name to girls ass ratios I can see where IF there's a statistical correlation between guys' names and the amount of trim they harvest then it's more likely due to how their name affects the guy internally rather than how the name is received by the girl:

-Our name is an integral part of how we self identify.
-How we self identify is a crucial part of our inner dialogue.
-Our inner dialogue determines EVERYTHING in our external

So...yes, your name is very important

Worst female name in my experience has been Charlotte. Never met a WB named Charlotte.

Your name is irrelevant. Your name is what you make it.
