A highly scientific (ahem!) study by website School Stickers has revealed the top 10 naughtiest boy and girl names, as well as the top 10 'well-behaved' kids’ names.

The website looked at records of more than 59,000 students and 1.1 million ordered rewards in a school year to come up with the tongue-in-cheek list.

It looked at the names that received the most reward stickers and those that received the least.

According to the research, the boys’ names that received the least rewards, and therefore have topped the ‘naughtiest list’ are: Adam, Joseph and Charlie.

And the top ‘naughtiest’ girls’ names were: Laura, Eleanor and Daisy.

The lists also included the names that received the most rewards.

These were Chloe, Emily and Sophie for the girls, and Jack, Daniel and Joshua for the boys.
