Why is it that the worst behaved children in public have surnames as their first names; i.e. Harrison, Ryan, Connor, etc.?

I once had a casual job in an Unemployment Benefit Office. Amongst my "customers" I had an S.Hite and a P.Enis

This is not a joke or an Urban Myth. It was at Billingham UBO....

I don't really believe in correlations between names and whatever the social ill du jour might be. I grew up with a first name that was considered well out of order in the area we lived in, even among my immediate family (though clearly not my parents, who were the ones who chose it). It didn't turn me into a delinquent; I have been fortunate enough not to have to live off benefits at any point in my life despite not coming from money in any quantity or marrying it; I'm not in debt and I have a job I like that pays reasonably well.

I suppose I could be an aberration...or something crab

Further study is needed, but I wouldn't bet against it - see also made up names.
