“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.

Wonder what some of these teachers would have thought of the name ‘Barack Hussein Obama’?

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.

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".

Chardonnay?! These stupid pretentious names that these Yuppies and liberals give their kids are really getting ridiculous.

As George Carlin said, Connor and Kyle and Todd are NOT real names! What happened to Joe and Bill and Steve and Mike?

It would be great if some enterprising person would do a study correlating names with crimes. It would be interesting to know which are the most popular “crime” names the better to avoid future trouble.

Chardonnay

A fitting name for a genetically pre-disposed future binge-drinker.

Great Britain, quo vadis?

It’s not really about the child. The name leads to assumptions about the parents, and hence the upbringing.
