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

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

The first Theo and Evie I met were delightful, but they were named long before the names became popular.

Are you suggesting that there are some classes or ethnic groups that are more likely to have naughty children? Because I actually think this crosses class and cultural divides. Perhaps you think not?

Well one poster has already said they wouldn't consider Archie a naughty name as its an upper middle class name. These threads are always full of the names people deem "lower class" or "chavvy"

This is the sort of thread Katie Hopkins would love.
It's a nasty thread and serves no purpose other than to laugh at kids names.
How juvenile do you have to be to join in with this tripe.

As an early years educator I’d have to say Nancy and Archie currently!

MN doesn't work like that. People are allowed different opinions.

I went to school with a lovely Kayvon. He had Iranian heritage, so he had an Iranian name.

Like Kayvan Novak (swoon).

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.

Edited

Yes! Elsie-Mae for example

WanderlustMom · 28/01/2026 19:16

I have an Ollie and people regularly comment on it being a ‘cheeky boys name’ .. he definitely fits the bill let’s put it that way 😂

CuddlyBlankets · 28/01/2026 19:18

Boys with surnames for names
Girls with hyphenated names

Lots lots lots more (looking at you, parents of Ethan, Lucas, Layla and Gracie) but the above is a good start.

The OP seems to be confusing MN with FB chats.

N Boys with names containing Ayden and girls with names containing acey

The naughty kid in my kids class is a Jayden 😂

DefinitelyNotMaybe · 28/01/2026 19:48

I know a kid called Maison as in French for house, but pronounced Mason. Always in trouble, but honestly I feel bad for him.

Laplandsnow · 28/01/2026 19:51

Where are people getting their opinions from? Have you all worked as teachers for years? Otherwise you probably know one kid so coupled with being snobby it’s just confirmation bias

Sebastian and Beatrice

We have a list of 'National Trust' names.
Sebastian and Beatrice are definitely National Trust names.
Florence and Theo also visit the National Trust. I once met a Theo refusing to go to the National Trust toilets with his dad. Thus proving that you can be naughty too.
Kayden and Jayden don't visit the National Trust.😂
