A Spokesperson for Goodluckmate said: "Our names play a huge part in our identity, but can they influence who we turn out to be?

"We wanted to find out if a name can make someone more likely to become a criminal, so we made Freedom of Info request to police forces asking for the names of people that were charged with crimes in the last two years, so we could discover the names most likely to commit crimes."
