We're not sure about some of these!

While we’re heard lots about baby names for 2015, there’s now some new predictions for 2016.

The Baby Centre, which is based in the United Kingdom, has released a list of the boys’ and girls’ names which they think will be big next year.

Some of the entries are very unique with a couple of characters from Game of Thrones making an appearance and you might be hearing Kit and Khaleesi if these predictions turn out to be accurate.

TV show Girls also gets a nod with Lena Dunham’s character Marni making an appearance at number five in the list of girls’ names.

When it comes to the boys, place names have had a big influence with Devon, Cairo, Stirling, Boston and Darwin appearing on the list.

Some of the additions are very quaint and reminds us of years gone by with names like Stan, Dottie, Queenie, Effie, Virginia and Evangeline making the cut.
