There's a lot of truth to this article about naughty children names. It even applies when you cross the border, albeit with a different list. My German colleagues have told me that the names Kevin and Chantal are traditionally the naughty ones here in Germany and they haven't been far off the mark given my first year's experience! The upside is that you have an idea what a pupil might be like from the start (not that I would prejudge, though I can't think of a not naughty Kevin or Chantal that I teach), the downside for teaches is when it comes to finding a name for your own children with no nasty connotations!
