Have you got an Ella or a Joseph on your hands? You might need to break out the child locks.
An annual survey from the company School Stickers has collected data on which children's names are the most common for kids who are well-behaved, and ones who could use a time-out.
School Stickers, which tracks children's behavior and digitally rewards ones for behaving well, collected and analyzed data based on 1 million entries and released a "naughty list" of names.
From the 60,000 children tracked, here's what the company listed as the top names for well-behaved and poorly behaved kiddos:

Neil Hodges, School Stickers' managing director, explained on the website that the findings are supposed to be lighthearted:
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 [Jacob's] that can be a bit of a handful.
Better luck next year, Bethany, Olivia, Jake, and Lewis!
