Santa's watching! Top 10 ‘naughty' boy, girl names revealed

If you have an Ella or a Joseph, you may disagree. But according to a new tongue-in-cheek survey published by SchoolStickers.com, there are certain names that lend themselves to bad behavior.

The website provides personalized rewards to students in 10,000 schools. Those who receive reward stickers from the company get online access where they can redeem their "good behavior" stickerts for other items. The company then uses that information to track the names of children who have been naughty and nice throughout the year.

The site's managing director, Neil Hodges says,  "The annual 'Santa's Naughty and Nice list' is just a bit of fun, and obviously there are many Ella's and Joseph's that are perfect little angels, just as I'm sure there are many Amy's and Jacobs that can be a bit of a handful. School Stickers has been trusted by thousands of schools to reward pupils for good behavior and achievement ever since it was created by a teacher in 2000. We're proud that our products motivate and inspire young people, whatever their names!"
