Not accurately but yes, mainly for boys. Jaydens, Alfies, Joshes and Waynes are combat indicators of future bellendery (although Waynes seem to have become an endangered species). Kids christened with a nickname (on the official register as Josh or Mat rather than Joshua or Matthew) are also suspect, as are weird spellings or pronunciations.
Double-barrelled names used to mean either very posh or mum's a slapper, now seem to be increasingly common, as are parents with different surnames to the child which can make writing emails a tad embarrassing. Stereotypical middle class names seem to be on the rise as well, it's rare to have issues with an Arabella or Araminta.
A couple of name related, school based tales. Sorry for the length. Maybe I'm bored.
In one primary school, in a not so bad area, I was teaching for a few months, covering a maternity leave. The class were year 5s so mostly 9/10. In that school it was practice to call the register, every morning and afternoon, with the kids sitting on the 'carpet' while I sat in the comfy 'reading chair'. The names were in surname alphabetical order, boys and girls all together and only first names were called. Scene set.
Each registration time I had to call this (phonetic spellings provided to give a true picture):
Good morning/afternoon please listen for your names:
Hayleigh Hay-lee
Kayleigh Kay-lee
Kileigh Ky-lee
Kelley Key-lee
Random boys name
Kirsty Kirsty
Kelly Kelly
Further down the register.

Waine

One afternoon, a bright young lad looked up at me and said, "Sometimes you just can't keep a straight face".
I hope he went far.
In another primary school, where I was Acting Head, I was covering for a sudden staff absence. It was a pretty rough school in what is euphemistically called 'the North Thames fringe' and staff were difficult to get and retain, never mind supply staff. Now, I come from a long standing farming/milling/baking family where the nineteenth century tradition was a double barrelled name used according to which trade the males took part in; one half for bakers, the other half for millers and both together for farmers. Males marrying in adopted the name pattern, so all very nineteenth century and a nightmare to research genealogically. I followed my grandfather's and father's pattern of only using one half, so the double barrel has, pretty much, died out. It only comes through on a few things but does occasionally crop up on addressed letters. I've always thought it a bit pretentious and not reflective of the status it once indicated.
As I was teaching round the tables of the, open plan, year 5 class, a bundle of post was put on the teacher's desk for my attention. Before I could get to it a couple of 'nice, helpful' children decided to 'tidy' my desk. This exchange followed, in quite loud voices, across the fairly 'lively', three class, open plan teaching space:
Child 1: Mr ********
Me: Yes.
Child 1: This letter says it's to Mr XXXXXX-********
Me: Yes, that's my full name but I only use the ********
Child 1: Why?
Me: Because that's what my dad did.
Child 1: Oh.
Child 2: (In an Estuarine voice, that truly carried) Wasn't your mum an dad married then?
Times and social mores change.
