i know there’s been threads like this done before I read some from 20 years ago when I was a kid myself. Obviously baby naming has changed a lot since then.
Because there will undoubtedly be someone who says this is mean spirited then this is your warning to not bother reading it.

I’m curious to see if my kids names come up because they did on a few of the old threads 😂. Comments from teachers especially welcome

Nigel, Vladimir and Donald can be quite the handful

Yuck, not my hands, thank you very much!

My DD and my dog’s name have been mentioned…

I confess to approaching any class containing a Kyle with an extra stern hand.

Sorry all the lovely Kyles.

You forgot Kier

Robert was also left off of the list.

And Kristi and Pam.
Not MC or WC; DC.

I've seen my son's name here. Don't care- I still think it's great and he's great!

In his year, the more emmm spirited children are Frankie, Gracie, and David.

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.

I imagine that SS are aware… there are quite a few more little ones in the family that although now older, had the same roaming habits.
They don’t appear to attend school much, yet hang around the school at home time causing absolute chaos.

Riley. Hudson. Bailey.

Catowl · 28/01/2026 18:20

Henry my god what is it with the Henry's? I have never met one who isn't naughty.
From my own school days right through.
We even have a prince by that name who has been trouble.
So I will also add Harry! ( I know 2 and both are spirited)

Kyle, Mason, Sebastian, Hunter, Ronnie, Archie, Harvey, Logan and John have all been rather naughty boys that I have met

Girls
Lily-Mae ( of various spellings) , Lexi , Darcy, Harper, Ruby I have met more than 1 of each of these who has been trouble.

Yep!

I fucking hate racist and classist people and the fact that some of these work with kids is awful.

I used to be a teacher and it’s shocking how many of them had these views.

Research shows that there are massive issues with racism and classism in schools, so much so that these kids are treated differently and often have massively different outcomes to white, middle class children.

I welcome teachers from more diverse backgrounds so we can get rid of these prejudices.

I am a sociologist of class and agree entirely

It is.

Caterpillarhopping · 28/01/2026 18:45

You just know that Vinnie, Reggie, Harvey, Mason, Ronnie, Jaxon will all be wearing tracksuit bottoms, and are cheeky and hyperactive and spend too much time on video games.

Any girl hyphenated with Rae or Mae. Plus Harlow, Neveah,, Lexie is likely to be a handful.

LeapyearLoser · 28/01/2026 18:48

Never met a nice Theo and all Evie's are vile 🫣

TillyTrifle · 28/01/2026 11:58

Round here Archie is a very upper middle class name, def not one I would put on that list!

You seriously believe that schools full of upper middle class children never have any behaviour issues? It must be all the perfect breeding which makes such perfect children 🙄

RhubarbCrumble12345 · 28/01/2026 18:53

Logan, pretty much only devil children with blonde hair and blue eyes! I'm a teacher in a secondary school too and would also add Alfie, Archie and Callum.

Mia and Lily, I would agree, and Ava.

EchoedSilence · 28/01/2026 18:54

Any teacher judging children on their names is in the wrong job.
