People named Emma and Matt are the stingiest, new research has found.

The insightful survey examined the spending habits of 3,000 British people and was conducted by the online marketplace OnBuy.com. It then compiled a list of the top ten names of the biggest spenders you're likely to know and those who've got very tight strings on their purse.

And unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your point of view), if you're a woman called Emma or a man called Matt, your friends will have very low expectations of you buying a round of drinks on a night out.

These are the names of the ten stingiest men and women:

Women:

1. Emma
2. Katie
3. Julie
4. Alice
5. Zoe
6. Kelly
7. Lucy
8. Claire
9. Sarah
10. Amy

Men:

1. Matthew
2. Jack
3. Sam
4. James
5. Simon
6. Edward
7. Connor
8. Paul
9. Ben
10. Liam

As mentioned, the survey also looked at people whose names were at the opposite end of the spectrum and found out the names people most likely to be big spenders. So if you're a shopaholic and on this list, well, you might want to blame your parents for whatever they chose to call you.

These are the names of the biggest spenders:

Women:

1. Karen
2. Courtney
3. Stephanie
4. Maddie
5. April
6. Jessica

Per the Mirror, Cas Paton, founder of OnBuy.com, said: "With thousands of people going through our site daily, we see a host of shopping habits and trends, whether that’s by name, age or location.

"Therefore, we thought it would be fascinating to see which names are synonymous with the top spenders onsite, and also the names of those who are more careful with their money, opting for deals and discounts over full-priced products.

"Who knew there's such a common parallel with names and shopping habits, there seems to be a lot more to a name than we initially thought."
