Can a child’s name really define their personality and behavior? One company does an annual survey based on children’s names and how well they behave in the classroom. The company is called Schoolstickers.com, and they asked approximately 60,000 children to digitally record the stickers they received in school for behaving well.
School Stickers then tracked the children’s behavior and actions based on one million entries and after analyzing the data they released a “naughty list” of the kids most likely to misbehave.
Now of course this is meant to be taken lightly as more than likely there is a margin of error with a study like this! We are sure there are plenty of Emmas who have to sit on the naughty step from time to time, as well as Ethans who are good as gold…
