The 'naughtiest' children's names revealed

Santa's Christmas present list has been given a helping hand this year as the names of the "naughtiest" and the "nicest" children in Britain have been revealed.  

According to School Stickers' annual 'Santa's Naughty and Nice list', Leah is the naughtiest girls’ name and Joseph is the naughtiest boys’ name.

The nicest girls’ name is Anna, and for boys it is Harry.

The personalised stickers from School Stickers are given as rewards in schools and children are then encouraged to log them into the company's website. The lists refer to the names of children who have logged into the School Stickers website most and least during 2015.

The names that garnered the least amount of sticker rewards were placed on the ‘naughty’ list.

But Neil Hodges, managing director of School Stickers, said the list was "a bit of fun," adding that it should not be taken seriously.

“There are many children called Leah and Joseph who are perfect little angels, just as there are many called Harry and Anna who Santa is watching!”

“School Stickers is trusted by thousands of schools to reward pupils for good behaviour and achievement. We’re proud that our products motivate and inspire young people, whatever their names," said Mr Hodges.

The names Jasmine, Olivia and Shannon also appeared on the Naughtiest Girls list while Luke, Daniel and George could be found on the Naughtiest Boys list.
