Children named Megan and Rory are the most likely to cause mischief at school, according to research.

But Frances and Shaun were the best behaved in a study of reward stickers handed out to more than 60,000 schoolchildren.

The findings show that boys named Shaun, Calum, Ali, Brandon and Samuel were the most likely to receive the rewards, along with girls named Frances, Kelly, Stacey, Eve and Aisha.

 

Megan Fox: Research has found that children named Megan are the least likely to receive rewards at school

 

But boys named Rory, Harvey, Bob, Tyler and Brad, and girls named Megan, Georgie, Izzy, Jess and Joanna were the least likely to receive the awards.

Ali and Kerry were the most improved students this year, moving up to third and 21st places respectively.

But children named Paul and April need to raise their game, having fallen to 112th from 7th and 173rd from 2nd place respectively.

 

Henry Shelford, chief executive of School Stickers, the company behind the research, said: ' Obviously young people are all unique and just because a child's called Megan or Rory does not necessarily mean they're going to be little terrors.

'Equally parents with children named Frances and Shaun should not assume they have little angels.

'This is a light-hearted and fun study, but one that highlights the value of rewarding pupils who try hard and behave well.'

School Stickers supplies teachers with stickers, postcards and certificates to give to pupils for good behaviour and achievement. The study looked at the names of 62,680 pupils.

The name Megan has become increasingly popular, in part because of the emergence of stars with the name such as Megan Fox, who appears in the Transformer films.

No, no, no!

Megan Fox had to go through 4 weeks of intensive auto-mechanic training in order to perform that particular scene in the Transformers movie. It was on the Blu Ray extras, really interesting stuff.

I always liked the name Megan.
