Men with these first names would, according to research, be most likely to cheat.

Have you caught a cheater? You better be warned. It's not even that he can help it, research shows. It has everything to do with the first names of men. Because men with these first names are said to cheat the most.

And that has been proven.

Research into names that are most common among people who cheat has shown that specific names among men and women are more frequently found among users of dating sites for married people. One of these studies, conducted by the site Gleeden, shows that men with names like Nathan, Chris, and Erik are more often members of such cheating sites. You don't create an account just to have a cup of tea with someone, right.... For women, names like Jessica, Amy, Olivia, and Rebecca often came up: those are the female cheaters.

Of course, it's difficult to say this with 100% certainty, because yes, what's in a name... Not all Olivias cheat. Research on names and cheating remains primarily a playful topic without a solid scientific basis. Most studies on this are based on surveys from dating sites or apps for people looking for an affair. But, do you still want to know if your lover's name is a good one? Besides Nathan, Chris, and Erik, these names are also red flags:

For men: Tom, Alexander, and Mark
For women: Anna, Lisa, and Sarah

And no, the name doesn't say it all; the jobs and the environment in which someone grows up also play a role. For example, it turns out that men from lower social classes living in a city are relatively more often involved in extramarital relationships than men from higher social classes living in a village. So... Is your guy named Chris, does he live in Amsterdam, and doesn't he earn tons above the norm? Watch out, researchers say...
