Very interesting!
Teachers in the UK say they can identify which children are likely to be troublemakers by their names.

Really, Chardonnay??? 
But really, how much of it is looking at the names and expecting them to be trouble thus projecting the expectations and looking for problems?

YAY..based on that I have NO naughty boys and 2 bright ones. LOL
Unfortunately, I have DS1 who can be a real drama queen (or is that king) even though his name is not on the list!
Good for a laugh though.

LOL, 'C' looks like a letter to avoid
The "bright' list seems to consist of lots of older names.

COMPLETELY agree with the bright girls
As for the boys.... i would have to say - all kids I have taught, the naughty ones were
1. jayden
2. dylan
3. luke
none really stand out apart from those- but EVERY kid I have taught with those three names has been a little bugger (i kinda like the kids though - they have spunk!)....but really naughty

LMAO my brother had a friend called Callum when he was a kid and he wasn't allowed to come over and play coz he was a troublemaker (according to mum).

I'm surprised Kyle is on the list, I didn't think it would be popular enough, so maybe that means all Kyle's are little sh*ts

In my years of teaching Ive found boys with 'J' names are the 'challenging' ones, and Ive come across quite a few Sophies who were right little madams!!

oh god - is Aisha the same as Ayja? certainly sounds the same. eeek. considering i was woken just after 6am by her this morning and she stood at the side of my bed defiantly and refused to leave because i told her to go back to bed... it was like a hostage situation. She eventually left and went and played in her room with slamming doors etc on the way.ggggr.

Me and Hannah are on the good girl list  
Jaycee - I went to school with a Chardonnay (although, she was 'sh' not 'ch') and was lovely.
Interesting though!
