The 'hottest' names that will get you the most dates
Congratulations to all the Bretts and Brianas whose profiles have the highest number of users swiping right
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Some names, it appears, are 'hotter' than others - potentially good news for any single Briannas out there, but bad news for all the Joels and Victors.
Dating app The Grade has compiled a list of the hottest female and male names that have users most commonly 'swiping right'.
The top women's names, according to the dating app, are Brianna and Erika - respectively they had 70 per cent and 69 per cent of male users liking their profiles.
For the men, the hottest name was Brett, with 24 per cent of the dating app's female users swiping right on profiles under that name, closely followed by Tyler with 23 per cent.
Profiles with the names Joel and Victor, on the other hand, were liked by just three per cent of female users.
The list also includes the 'most matched' names. Brianna's 'most matched' is Sean, although the significance of this is unclear as Sean is also 'most matched' with Taylor. (Come one Sean, what are you playing at?)
The Grade, which describes itself as a "female-friendly mobile dating application", builds dating profiles with information from a user's Facebook page.
Users receive a 'grade' based on, among other things, the content of their messages, including their appropriateness and use of slang.
