However, they also calculated the names of the women who would be most likely to say yes. .

The researchers developed the list by starting with the average age of UK brides and grooms when the tie the knot, and subtracting the average engagement time.

Then, they looked for the most common names from the years those people were born, which ended up being in between 1980 and 1984.
