A new list of the 'most badly behaved' names has been revealed.
If you have a child named Ella, Bethany, Joseph or William, then you now have an excuse for when they are naughty - it's their name.
Whereas if your child is called Jacob, Daniel, Amy or Emma, you won't need any excuses - because they are probably simply delightful.
This is according to a new children's behaviour study which has come up with the names the naughtiest children are most likely to be called.
It looked at the good behaviour awards and the names of more than 63,000 children.
The naughtiest boys' names, in order, were:
Joseph, Cameron, William, Jake, Joshua, Jamie, Lewis, Benjamin, Ethan and Luke.
The naughtiest girls were (in order):
Ella, Bethany, Eleanor, Olivia, Laura, Holly, Courtney, Amber, Caitlin and Jade.
The best behaved girls were likely to be called (in order):
Amy, Georgia, Emma, Charlotte, Grace, Sophie, Abigail, Hannah, Emily and Alice.
While the best boys, also in order, were:
Jacob, Daniel, Thomas, James, Adam, Harry, Samuel, Jack, Oliver and Ryan.
