If your little one's name (or yours, for that matter) is Anna or Harry, they'll no doubt be delighted to hear that children with those names are the most likely to be at the top of Santa's 'nice list' this Christmas.
That's according to research by School Stickers, who reckon they've discovered that children named Anna, Courtney, Millie, Mia and Grace are most likely to be the best behaved girls of 2015, while Harry, Ryan, Ethan, Lewis and Ben are the names of the boys most likely to have behaved themselves all year.
And now for some bad news - little girls named Leah, Eleanor, Jasmine, Abigail and Olivia need to be good all December if they want to make it onto the nice list by Christmas Eve, while boys names Joseph, James, Joshua, Luke and Samuel also need to get their act together over the next month.
The annual study is based on the names of the children most likely to receive School Sticker's rewards for good behaviour in the classroom, and those whose names appear least often among the reward recipients.
Fortunately this is apparently only the draft Nice and Naughty list, so all is not lost, but here it is for you to use as you see fit. If my lads' names were on the Naughty List I'd be half-tempted to leave it lying around just to concentrate their attention on their behaviour over the next few weeks!

Of course, it goes without saying that this is all just a bit of festive silliness, although we'd love to hear all about it over on our Facebook page if your name has appeared on the Naughty List!
