Harry and Mia have been revealed as the naughtiest names among children in the South East, whilst children named Arthur and Isla are considered to be the most well behaved.

New research shows children and parents agree that Harrys are the most likely to misbehave in the region, with a quarter of those researched claiming children with the moniker are the naughtiest.

When it comes to girls, it’s Mias that children and parents associate most strongly with mischief, although girls’ names generally are considered to be less naughty than boys’ names. Mia ranks at number eight on the complete list.

When it comes to well behaved children, boys named Arthur top the list in the South West, according to the research commissioned by My Nametags.

It’s Isla that comes out on top of the behaviour chart for girls, with just two percent of those surveyed in the region expecting children with this name to be misbehaved.

Boys named Arthur are also considered to be among the shyest in the class, with their peers agreeing children with this name tend to be amongst the most introverted.

By contrast, girls named Sophia are seen as the most confident children in the region. For boys, it’s Olivers who are assumed to be the most self-assured, with only two percent of the children surveyed considering them to be shy.
