The Top Baby Names Predicted for '16 Include Characters & Places

Khaleesi, Chanel and Atticus are among the predictions for the top baby names for 2016 and believe it or not, they're not even the worst ones.

According to Metro and The Baby Centre in the UK, popular names for newborns in 2016 range from places and brands to famous actors and fictional characters and while there are a few pretty monikers thrown in there, on the whole they're pretty dire.

Take, for instance, some of the girls' names such as Khalessi, which is straight out of Game of Thrones and not exactly something you want to be screaming down the street telling them to get in for dinner; Electra, which really should googled by any expecting mothers and fathers unfamiliar with classical text; Halo, just no; and Queenie, if you hate your offspring.

As for the boys, the choices there aren't much better with Cairo, you know, the capital of Egypt; Kit, after Kit Harrington from Game of Thrones; Aspen, yes, like the American ski resort; and Lucian, perfect for giving your child a variety of complexes.

The top 30 list via Metro is below but, fair warning, the majority of these will probably enrage you.
