The survey, which was conducted by online dating site Badoo, found that in 72% of cases, those with shorter names had the greatest appeal.
For men, the names Bob, Jim, Ron and Bill were the popular, while for women it was Jen, Val, Debs or Jo.
Some 79% of men admitted they found shortened names appealing, compared to just 69% of females.
The study was looking at the approaches made by Badoo's 190 million users and compared the number of emails that had been sent to those who had used shortened versions of their names to those who used their full names.
It revealed that within the UK, men who used shortened names such as Mike, Matt, Phil or Chris attracted more female approaches per head than those named Michael, Matthew, Philip or Christopher respectively.
The same was found with women called Sue, Mandy or Sam who attracted more male advances than those named Susan, Amanda or Samantha.
A spokesperson for Badoo said: "Attractiveness online is not only about looks.
"Even the length of your name, it seems, may also make a surprising difference."
