Santa's Draft Naughty and Nice Name List Revealed

Frances and Shaun set to Top Festive Gift-List
LONDON, December 4 - It seems that Frances and Shaun will be at the top of Santa's gift-list
this Christmas morning. Research by School Stickers, the leader in secondary
school rewards, has revealed that children with these names are the most
likely to behave well.
But little girls called Meghan and little boys called Rory may not have
so many presents to open on Christmas morning. Unfortunately, children with
these names appear to be more prone to naughtiness! However, as this is only
the 'draft' list kids still have three weeks to improve their behaviour!
The study revealed that boys called Shaun, Calum, Ali, Brandon and Samuel
are the most likely to receive School Stickers rewards. But parents should be
wary of naming their sons Rory, Harvey, Bob, Tyler or Brad as these names
appear least often among recipients.
Mums and dads are more likely to have an easier time if they have a
daughter called Frances, Kelly, Stacey, Eve or Aisha, all names at the top of
the School Stickers reward 'league'. But if their little girl is named
Meghan, Georgie, Izzy, Jess or Joanna, they could have trouble on their
hands!
School Stickers supplies 3,000 schools with stickers, postcards and
certificates which teachers give pupils for good behaviour and achievement.
Teacher's can have online codes on the rewards and this year over 62,000
pupils registered online to create an online sticker book and compete in
competitions using these rewards. Analysis on the registration name and
stickers collected reveals who got awarded the most stickers - the nicest -
and who got the least - the naughtiest!
The research also found that boys really are naughtier than girls who on
average receive far more school rewards than their male counterparts.
Henry Shelford, CEO, School Stickers said, "Obviously young people are
all unique and just because a child's called Meghan or Rory does not
necessarily mean they're going to be little terrors! Equally parents with
children named Frances and Shaun should not assume they have little angels.
This is a light-hearted study, but one that highlights the value of rewarding
pupils who try hard and behave well. Our scheme has been trusted by thousands
of schools to reward pupils for good behaviour and achievement ever since it
was created by a teacher in 2000, and we're proud that our products motivate
and inspire young people, whatever their names!"
