Have you been nice this year?

Question

Introduction

Santa has too many names to process, and needs your help! He needs you to write a program or a function, which outputs nice, naughty, very naughty or very very naughty. To determine how nice or naughty someone is, Santa had developed an algorithm:

Nice (division, math):

First of all, we obtain a number from the name by adding all the letters up (spaces ignored). For example:

Doorknob =

D = 4
o = 15
o = 15
r = 18
k = 11
n = 14
o = 15
b = 2

4 + 15 + 15 + 18 + 11 + 14 + 15 + 2 = 94

If the number of divisors is equal to the length of the name, the person is considered nice. This means that your program should output [name] has been nice. Here, the divisors of 94 are:

Divisors of 94: 1, 2, 47, 94

There are 4 divisors, but the name has length 8 (spaces included). Conclusion, Doorknob has not been nice. So we continue our journey:

---

Naughty (sequence, math):

Santa has developed a new sequence, the christmas number. First, we will look at the following christmas trees:

n = 1        n = 2          n = 3          n = 4

                                             *
                                            ***
                                           *****
                                          *******
                                         *********
                          _   *             ***
                         |   ***           *****
                         |  *****         *******
               *         | *******       *********
  *           ***        |   ***            ***
 ***         *****   n*n |  *****          *****
  *           ***        | *******        *******
             *****       |   ***         *********
               *         |  *****           ***
                         |_*******         *****
                              *           *******
                           |_____|       *********
                             2n+1            *

  5            18             47             98

The amount of asterisks determines the christmas number. The sequence goes as following: 5, 18, 47, 98, 177, ....

From here, we can conclude that 94 is not a christmas number. That means that Doorknob has not just been naughty.

Very naughty (string):

For this, we need to find out if Doorknob is a raising ladder string. This is determined by the letters in the name with A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, etc.:

First we will look at the first letter, the D. This has value 4. This is our starting point. The next letter is o. This has the value 15, which is higher than our previous value, so we're going a step higher on the ladder. The next value is also an o. This is the same, so we're doing nothing. If the next value is higher than the current value, we will go a step higher. If the next value is lower than the current value, we will go a ster lower. If it's the same, we'll stay on the same step. This visualised for Doorknob, Martin Buttner and Alex A:

            O
           / \
      R   N   B
     / \ /
  O-O   K                 T   N   U                 L   X
 /                       / \ / \ / \               / \ / \
D                   M   R   I   B   T-T           A   E   A
                     \ /               \
                      A                 N   R
                                         \ /
                                          E

You can see that Doorknob ended higher than the starting position. So Doorknob has been very naughty. Martin Buttner and Alex A didn't get higher than the starting point. So they are both very very naughty.

Test cases

Input: Doorknob
Output: Doorknob has been very naughty

Input: Martin Buttner
Output: Martin Buttner has been very very naughty

Input: Jakube
Output: Jakube has been nice

Input: B
Output: B has been very very naughty

Rules

• You need to provide a program or a function which takes input (which consists of at least one letter).
• The input will consist of uppercase letters, lowercase letters and spaces. Spaces are ignored during the process, except for the length of the input.
• This is code-golf, so the submission with the least amount of bytes wins!

Try it online: Demonstration or Test Suite

Explanation:

jd[z"has been"...      list with input string, "has been" and ...; join with spaces
qlzl{yPJsKxL+NG@Grz0   compares the length of input with the number of divisors
                       (computes all prime factors and counts the elements in the powerset)
?..."nice"             if True, use "nice" as last list element
                       else:
}Jm+*+2d*dd2SJ            check for christmas number
                          (checks, if its of the form n^3+2*n^2+2)
gs._M-VKtK0               check if raising ladder string ends lower or equal
                          (assigns each neighbor pair a number -1,0,1 and computes the sum)
&!...h...                 returns 0, 1 or 2
*"very "                  repeat "very " this times

I'm sure there's room for improvement, I'd like to cut out some if's.

Edit: 4 months later, I learned a lot about lua and wanted to get back to this submission, I did well: cutted out 87 bytes!

for i=1,y do x=y%i<1 and x+1or x end

It is hard to effectively golf this on account of how difficult complicated flow control is in Seriously. The ability to nest functions without the use of registers would help. (I imagine this could already be shortened somewhat through judicious use of stored functions, but it would result in such spaghetti code I don't have the heart to attempt it.)
