You know how sometimes — when he forgets (again) to pick up more diapers or can't remember the playdate you've had scheduled for months — you wonder if you married the right man. Well, maybe you should have thought a little harder about what his name says about him.
A new study claims your hubby's first name can determine if he'd make a good husband or not. Their advice? David is great, Katie is, too.
Those are the No. 1 names for men and women who make the best husbands and wives, according to Siteopia.com, a U.K.-based name site.
''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,” a Siteopia spokesperson tells The Telegraph. “'Of course, people shouldn't be judged on a name alone, so while men like David and Andrew seem to be top of the pile, they've still got to uphold that reputation day to day.''
So, what’s in a name? Well, this list says it could be key to a long-lasting marriage. Here’s the Siteopia list. And, yes, apparently Lucy, our family dog, would make a better wife than me. (And, no, there’s no need to go telling my husband about that.)

1. Katie
2. Sophie
3. Louise
4. Sarah
5. Emily
6. Charlotte
7. Elizabeth

9. Jessica

Really? My name isn't on the top 10 so I guess I'm the biggest jerk in the universe.
