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

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

Nice to see it's not full of Irish names like it was last time I noticed this topic!

Are you suggesting rich children can't be naughty!?

How bizarre!

Why?

Alfie and Harry need a lot of support to follow rules appropriately ime. Girls with very unique names need reminding not to shout/chat constantly.

Shinyandnew1 · 28/01/2026 13:20

Archie, Albie, Alfie.
Ronnie, Riley, Reggie.
Ayden, Jayden, Kayden, Braydon, Hayden.
Oakley

Cherry, Summer, Nevaeh.

The only Archie I know gives his mum sleepless nights and he’s always up to something . He is a very good friend to my son though … though I do tell DS to think twice if Archie thinks something’s a good idea! He’s a lovely kid and I think he will go far provided he stays safe of course …. These things are normally nuanced no?

I did my final stint of supply teaching over a year ago.

One memorable class had three boys with the same name, but completely different spellings. I recall that one was 'Kayden'.

My oldest son's name has been mentioned , it always does.When he started school,his teacher left halfway through the year to have a baby boy. She gave him the same name so obviously it didn't put her off 😀

At my DC school all the Theo's are hard work.

My Theo is an angel! Like actually perfect child! My other son though not so much 😩😩😩😩

Not yet but the other half’s name has 😂

This is so funny.
My DH has a typically 'sensible man' name. The reality varies.

We loved the name Ruth when our DD was born but I said we can't have that as every Ruth I have known has been sweet and sensible, and no child of ours is likely to be hahahahaha

I deliberately left out some 'naughty boys'' names because they are from a certain culture and my neighbours might be on here.

@PenelopeAsks ,why?

What a distasteful thread.

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

You are joking????
Bastien???

I think Archie’s are trouble
Archibolds less so, as with that stupid full name they can’t be such a bully

Can't upper middle class children be badly behaved? In my experience they can be behave much worse than working class children.

Kayden

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

What do you mean by 'made up sounding names' all names are made up. We've anglicised Latin/Hebrew etc names and made up our 'traditional' 'English' names. Kavon is from a Persian name. Jaylon from Jalen (Hebrew). Kaydrn from Celtic.
But it never takes long for the racism, or ignorance.
