Will these be the most popular baby names of 2016?

If you’re having a baby in 2016 and want a name as special and unique as your tiny tot, look no further.

Family names of old are out of style, with new parents instead favouring something a little more current.

Parenting website Baby Centre has made its predictions for the most popular names of 2016 – and there will definitely be some entries on the list that are new to you.

For girls, Baby Centre is predicting Emi as the top name, while for boys it’s Hector.

Harper Lee’s “Go Set A Watchman” has influenced the boys chart, with the entry of Atticus at number two, while Astrid, Beryl and Evangeline have entered the girls’ list.
