It seems that there's more to a name than you might expect.

Car insurance provider insure has compiled a list of the names that are most likely to make a car insurance claim during the course of the year.

Apparently, men called Gabriel aren't so angelic as they top the list at 40 per cent while guys named Kyle, Jay, Muhammad and Aaron should also take extra care on the roads as they too make the 'top five' list of male names most likely to make a claim.

For females, Natasha is often a crasher - 32 per cent of women drivers with that name make a car insurance claim. The likes of Harriet, Juliet, Natalie and Helen are also unlucky behind the wheel.

By contrast, if you're a male driver named Finlay or Archie you'll be relieved to hear that your driving record is comparatively good. Both names top the list of male drivers least likely to make a car insurance claim at just 13 per cent. For women, it's Jasmine and Eleanor who have the safest record on the road with just 13 and 14 per cent of female drivers with those names making claims.

Despite the significant variations, car insurers insist they do not take names into account when determining car insurance premiums.

A spokesman for the car insurance provider insure stated that while statistics do not lie, the reasons why certain names are involved in more accidents than others is more likely to be down to their personalities, age or the car they drive rather than something written in the stars.

So whatever your name may be, you'll still have to shop around to find a cheap car insurance deal. By building up a no-claims discount you could lower your car insurance premiums and give yourself a good name.
