What are the current “naughty boy/girl” names?

That's not an attack on you. You obviously value education.

Those who don't are the parents who refuse to work with the school or who (like an aunt of mine through marriage) would take their daughters out of school for a day just to go shopping.

We used to have some mothers who would organise hair and nail appointments for their daughters during school hours and would back their daughters when they said that they couldn't do work because their nails were too long. (I wish that I were making them up.) A tiny minority, but they definitely exist.

We had one - a solicitor - who threatened to sue the school when she was called in because her child had disrupted a mock by being drunk and disorderly. (Had also threatened to sue the LA when a member of staff stopped this child from continuing an assault on another child.)

The same parent also threatened us for daring to say that her child had plagiarised a piece of coursework. When I pointed out that the essay had clearly been printed from a piece posted on the internet, she switched to claiming that the child didn't think that it was plagiarism because they'd 'copied it by hand'. [They had not copied it by hand.]

Any unique names i.e. utterly ludicrous made-up names for spoilt brats. I could give a few examples but as they are one of a kind nonsense it would be fairly outing as to where I am.

At my last school it was Freddie and Jamie’s

current school I would say Archie, Jack and Noah

My cats' names have been mentioned in this thread, and I can confirm that they are both extremely badly behaved.

Oh wow Lexie's are definitely making the list. I knew a very bossy/mean girl called Lexie.

Callum , Joseph , Josh , Ava , Archie , Reggie . Ronnie , holly , isobel , Harley , Harvey , Tyler

😂Finlay is my eldest boys name 😂 no trouble at School however he can be a real little shit at home HAHAHAHA

Blue. Yes like the colour. Mind you the parents are fucking awful too.

I was just referring to previous poster who made out they were not misbehaved as Archies tend to be posh.
My Son is also an Archiebald and tbh when I do have to tell him off it is Archibald which is used rather than the Archie. 🤣

Poor kids, were social services aware? This reminds me of that awful story of the girl who was starved to death by her parents and neighbours reported afterwards that she used to come into their gardens to eat from the bird table.

But children are a product of their environment and kids who have been disturbed all night as their parents are high on drugs or who get no love at home will probably not have as much energy and focus available to them to put into their studies, their energy is needed for other more basic needs.

I've never come across one. I think that the most 'old-fashioned' name that we ever had was a 'Phemie', back in the '80s. Her full name was Euphemia, presumably after a grandmother.

When I was at school, we'd see 'Senga' as an alternative to 'Agnes' in order to avoid being old-fashioned. I now only see that name attached to my age group - mid-sixties.

We used to see a lot of names inspired by soap characters. One year, I had an S1 class containing a Blake, an Alexis and a Fallon.

Of course it is.
I’ve worked as a teacher and with other teachers.

Anyone that sounds like a WC background or lives on a council estate is immediately judged.

Obviously not all teachers but a lot with old fashioned views.
Its shocking to think these are in charge of our kids but yet have so much prejudice against them (and we wonder why black and mixed race kids have a higher expulsion rate for the same behaviour as white kids).

I have an 80s "naughty" kid name. I was a little shit. Unsettled home life, parents didn't care etc. Sometimes the stereotypes hold true.

I don’t really think this is fair! I am the same parent to both of my children but one is noticeably naughtier than the other. I’m always telling her to behave and explaining the consequences of her actions and disciplining her. Her older sister never needed to be told, she just behaved. Kids are individuals - it’s not always parents or environment or anything outside themselves.

There was one Archie when I was at school - he actually was an Archibald - and he was a nice lad. Apart from the doctor's son who moved to a private school at the end of P6, we were all working class bairns.

Let’s get the teachers from diverse backgrounds in. And see the outcomes… not change because that isn’t the cause.

Back in 2000, a then noted educational behaviour management expert ran a training session in our school.

I was surprised when he stated that names could be a clue to possible behavioural problems. The example that he gave was that a father who insisted on projecting his idea of masculinity would give his son a name like "Wayne" (from the stereotypical masculinity of John Wayne).

If that ever held true, I suspect that Wayne's World put paid to that.

I agree that stereotyping is unhelpful, but the theory that a name can give a limited insight into the parents possibly holds some water.

The juxtaposition of my own forenames is rather unfortunate and came about because Dad had English as a second language and left the naming up to Mum and Mum was intelligent but had left school at 14. I sometimes wonder what my teachers made of it.

Is Ethel a name in school nowadays 🫨

My son's name has appeared, and it's likely to show up more as it's a popular toddler name at the moment.

I'm not fussed though. It's not a unique name, just a classic boy's name that's quite popular at the moment. He's a compliant if lively little soul, so I'm not expecting him to sit on a naughty list - maybe a silly list.

Archie! Every Archie I know 🤣🤣
And I would say the are all posh/middle class based on my area

Both sound neglected rather than naughty.

Gently extricate yourself from it.
