The names of the naughtiest and nicest children have been revealed

A new study conducted on 63,000 school children by School Stickers has found the names of the best and worst behaved children. The researchers looked at the behaviours of school children, whose good behaviour was tracked in an online sticker book, and found that children with certain names tended to be more difficult.
