How about Mohammed? (the most popular boys name in the UK)

“Pupils called Callum, Connor, Jack, Chelsea, Courtney and Chardonnay were among some of the ones to watch.”
No worries, because in the UK, most boys are being named Muhammed anyway.

I would think child names such as “Bourbon”, “Crack”, “Crystal Meth”, “Mary Jane”, “Welfare”, “Punishment 1”, “Burden”, “Smartass”, “Torch”, “Van Jones”, “Bastard”, “Sonofab1tch”, “Trouble” - would also be obvious kids to watch as well.

Google to find many studies that show student’s behavior and success are affected by a teacher’s expectations.

From my observations at the dog park, I can attest that this theory applies to dogs as well, although it probably says more about the owner...
...Almost without exception, a Jack Russell named "Satan" will be a more troublesome dog than a pit bull named "Moe".

Good Lord, my buddy had one of those. It was the spawn of the Tazmanian Devil. It tore his apartment to shreads. That damn thing would jump up and down, in one spot, for hours. For no reason at all.
