What's in a name?

Siteopia.com surveyed 2,000 people to find out the names of the women who make 'the best wives', as though such a thing can be measured by what a person is called. With absolutely no basis in science because, let's be honest, science has more important things to do, apparently if your name is Katie you make a better wife than if your name is Charlotte. But not by much. And while the website left us all hanging as to what the details of what makes a good wife are (enjoys Frasier? can debate the merits of a false nine? knows the constituents of the perfect burger?), they did give us a Top Ten to completely disregard when flicking through Tinder. The 'top ten': 1. Katie 2. Sophie 3. Louise 4. Sarah 5. Emily 6. Charlotte 7. Elizabeth 8. Amy 9. Jessica 10. Lucy "Every time we hear mention of a name we naturally associate particular values or impressions based on our past experiences," a spokeman for the site said. "It seems certain names tend to crop up more than others when thinking about the qualities of a good husband or wife and the lists no doubt make interesting reading to many."
