As for clumsy female’s names, Hailey topped the chart. Taylor came in second place, while Linda, Barbara and Kimberley followed for a tied third.

So how did they figure this out? They reviewed cases that "involved the claimant encountering an incident causing personal injuries, such as slips, trips and falls in the workplace and at home or in a public setting." They were able to see which names appeared most frequently in the cases and compile them into a ranked list.

A side, note - there's a documentary called "Freakonomics" and it dives deep into how our names affect our lives. It makes a ton of sense why some people may miss opportunities in life when their parents give them a dumb, boring or crazy names.

So to all the Blake’s, Brian’s, Hailey’s and Linda’s who are in earshot, let’s be careful out there!
