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

AKA 'What particular class or ethnic prejudices are you happy to share on this thread?'

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.

Kayden

Any of the made up sounding names like Jaylon or Kavon. They’re always little shits.

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

OP asked for a list of “naughty” names not working class names….

I think you’ve said the quiet bit out loud there!

I was out the other day and heard two separate toddler Theodore’s being told off (my own terribly behaved Theodore was at nursery at the time 🤦‍♀️)

Sigh, here's the classicism/prejudice fretted about above

Especially the "new wave" of Sebastiens, who often go mostly by Bastien.

Exactly. Though, ironically, through that comment they have unintentionally ended up flagging that MC kids can be pains too and that naughtiness has no class boundaries, as quite a few of us have selected that "MC" name.

I know plenty of horribly behaved upper middle class children and delightfully well behaved working class children.

My upper middle class friends more likely to use illegal drugs than my working class friends

Right. As a MC person myself, I take issue with some of the entitlement and lack of respect shown by my child's classmates and my friends' children. Constructing my own little list of names 😅

The naughtiest boy I know is a Spencer …

Fingalscave · 28/01/2026 12:45

When my DC were at school, it was the Jakes and Adams who were the naughty ones.
Lauras in each of my DC's classes were mean girls. I had only ever met lovely Lauras before that.
