Let's try an experiment.........

[CuppaTeaJanice]

Nearly every name suggested on here seems to have connotations for people based on where they've heard it before.

Think back to your schooldays, or your child's school. What are the names of...

1. The really pretty/handsome child that everyone fancies?
2. The kid that's great at sports?
3. The child that's really clever, good at all subjects and gets straight As?
4. The school bully?
5. The rebel that smokes behind the bike sheds?
6. The slightly strange child who is a bit of a loner?

It will be interesting to see if any names come up several times in any particular category!!
