Some online daters will consider the name of a person before deciding whether or not to reply.<\/p>\n
According to research by the Humboldt University in Berlin, ladies are less likely to contact people called Kevin, Justin and Marvin.<\/p>\n
However, singletons known as Jacob, Alexander and Max could be in luck as they have been picked out as among the best names for those looking for love on the web.<\/p>\n
Jochen Gebauer, who was the leader of the study, stated: "Mails sent from an Alexander were clicked on 102 per cent more times than those from a Kevin".<\/p>\n
As part of the experiment, 47,000 people were given profiles without any photos and they had to decide whether or not to reply based on this.<\/p>\n
It follows on from a study carried out by the University of Oldenburg – located in Lower Saxony in Germany – which found teachers discriminated against individuals with certain names.<\/p>\n
