Is Callum a naughty boys name...?

[BeNiceOrLeave]

Latest addition to our playgroup. I like it a lot but DSis tells me, as a teacher, that it is a 'naughty boys name'.

Eh?? She has a list of such names and will happily reel them off at any opportunity.

Anyone know of this phenomena?

Totally forgot about Tyler... so true!

Back in the day (80's) when I was at primary school, naughty boys were called Dean, Brad and Steven. Girls were usually Leanne and Michelle :)

I personally know a horrid Callum but he is purely a product of his abysmal upbringing :( I also know a lovely little one. Interesting thread...

yes, it is.
My Calum with one L is extra naughty.

My callum is perfect and never naughty

I have a very 'spirited' Callum in my family! He is lively to say the least, not really what I'd call naughty tho. He is full of joy and I've seen him be kind nearly as many times as ive seen him be naughty.

I will add that my 5yo is called Connor, and am sad to see that on the naughty list! He can be the sweetest little boy when he feels like it, but cheeky & back chatting and annoying to his little sister the rest of the time...I'd say about 70/30 split. Still not what I'd class as naughty, especially not at school.

I have a 14yr old Connor.

Compared to my other two, he is an angel. Always has been, I'm glad I had him first

DD goes to a childminder with a Tyler and he's lovely! A really sweet little boy and DD absolutely loves him. He always comes to talk to me when I go to pick up DD and often helps me find her shoes/coat etc. Although a friend who sends her little boy to the same place said he threw her DS's toy onto a garage roof - so maybe a twinkle of naughty in there too ha!

Back in the day (80's) when I was at primary school, naughty boys were called Dean, Brad and Steven.

When I was at school in the 80's, the naughtiest boy was called Liam- he was obviously ahead of his time .....But his partner in crime was called Steven so your theory holds

I have taught 3 Callum's and it wouldn't be a name I chose! lol

The naughtiest boy in my first primary school was called Wayne - he had to stand next to the headmistress on the stage in the school hall for a specially-gathered assembly and make a public apology for flushing another boy's coat down the toilet!
