According to the latest bit of pop science pabulum, my parents done me good:
Men with "front vowels" in their names -- sounds formed at the front of the mouth like the "a" in Matt -- were considered sexier than men with "back vowel" sounds like the "au" in Paul, she concluded.
So apparently I could have gotten laid a lot more in high school and college if I had just worn a nametag all over the place. Oh well.
