There are some new entries on the 2019 Naughty and Nice names list. With the festive season just around the corner, Santa Claus will be working on his naughty and nice list as he decides who deserves presents this year and who will have to settle for a lump of coal. But what names are most likely to be on his big list in the North Pole?

School Stickers, the leading provider of rewards in schools, has worked out the names of the naughtiest and nicest children's names. The annual study, now in its 11th year, looked at 27,000 youngsters across the country. Girls with the names Sophie, Jessica, Olivia, Emily and Grace are the best-behaved, while boys Jack, Joshua, Harry, Oliver and Charlie can definitely expect a visit from Rudolph and his friends. Sophie and Daniel have both been in the top ten “nice” names six years out of the eleven years. However, Alexandras, Esthers, Faiths, Lydias, Nicoles, Logans, Harrisons, Liams, Jacobs and Leos might not be so lucky, as they're all firmly on the naughty names list.

Neil Hodges, managing director at School Stickers, said, "Our much-loved ‘naughty and nice’ list has become a Christmas tradition. It’s obviously just a bit of festive fun, but people do seem to like to see each year whether their name has made the list." 

Neil added, “We always say that the lists aren’t to be taken seriously as all schools reward their pupils in different ways, with some giving out hundreds, and some thousands of rewards.”
