Bookies Take Bets On Name Of Britney Spears' Baby

by Scott Colothan on 4/13/2005

Bookmakers are already taking bets on what Britney Spears is going to call her baby.
As we told you earlier today, Britney announced through her official website that she is expecting a baby to Kevin Federline.

Quick to get in on the act, Bookies are putting William and Harry as joint favourites because of Spears’ supposed obsession with the Royal males. Both are offered at 20/1 by William Hill, reports ananova.com.

If the child is a girl, the bookmakers are also offering 20/1 on Zara and Grace.
Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams told ananova: "Punters have been calling with all kinds of suggestions but there is no doubt that the public think that Britney will buck the celebrity trend of choosing wacky names and they are falling over themselves to back traditional British names."

Rank outsiders include Justin at 150/1, Victoria at 100/1 and Tiara at 250/1.
William Hill also don’t rate Britney and Kevin Federline’s chances of lasting the year – the odds of the couple being divorced by the end of 2005 have been slashed from 6/1 to 4/1.
