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.
