A survey in the UK revealed 2019’s naughtiest and nicest kids’ names

If your child’s name is Jack or Mia – statistically that’s a lot of people – watch out.

Is your classic Aussie name disappearing?

A new survey reveals children named Jack and Mia are perceived as the naughtiest kids’ names.

The survey from My Nametags and Censuswide in the UK asked 1500 teachers, parents and children what names they thought reflected the best and worst behaved children.

Respondents connected the name Mia to be associated with bad behaviour, and the Emilys of the classroom to cause more trouble.

And children named Isla and Arthur were thought to be best-behaved.

Lower down on the list of naughty boy names were Harry, Charlie, Oliver and George and on the list for naughty girl names was Ella, Isabella, Amelia and Sophia.

Here’s the list:
