He's Checking It Twice: List Reveals Kids' Names On Naughty And Nice Lists

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Santa Claus is coming to town with his list, but there is a new informal study that shows he may be able to tell who's been naughty or nice just by looking at the name on the Christmas stocking.

The list comes from an English company, which tabulated the most gold "good behavior" stars for girls with the names: Anna, Courtney and Millie.

Boys with the best behavior were named: Harry, Ryan and Ethan.

Of course, there is also a naughty list for the kids who were not often rewarded with gold stars at school.

Girls who came up short were named: Leah, Eleanor and Jasmine.

Naughty boys were named: Joseph, James and Joshua.

But before parents get worked up about the lists, the school's director says the lists are not to be taken seriously.

Neil Hodges, Managing Director says, "Our annual 'Santa's Naughty and Nice list' is just a bit of fun and not meant to be taken seriously. There are many children called Leah and Joseph who are perfect little angels, just as there are many called Harry and Anna who Santa is watching! School Stickers is trusted by thousands of schools to reward pupils for good behavior and achievement. We're proud that our products motivate and inspire young people, whatever their names!"
