The general consensus among novelty bettors fixated on the royal birth say Diana is likeliest to be the child’s name. Paddy Power has the name of Harry’s mother at 3\/1, or implied odds of 25 percent.<\/p>\n
Adams said he isn’t sold on the royal couple naming their first-born child after Prince Diana, who tragically died in a car accident in 1997. Royal historian Carolyn Harris agrees.<\/p>\n
\nThe choice of Diana as a first name would place a lot of pressure on the royal baby, as the press would constantly compare her to her famous grandmother,” Harris stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
There’s an abundance of other name options on the betting board \u2013 and in typical Paddy Power style, some are rather absurd. After Diane, the Irish bookmaker has Grace at 7\/1. Should the child be a boy, the odds favor Arthur at 12\/1.<\/p>\n
Other leading contenders include Victoria and Alice (14\/1), and James and Edward at 16\/1. Harry naming the child after himself is longer at 66\/1. A few of the comical betting choices include Jesus, Muhammad, and Buddha \u2013 all at 500\/1.<\/p>\n

Paddy Power has a futures line on whether Prince Louis<\/a>, who was born last April, or Prince Harry’s child, will go bald first. Louis is the favorite at 8\/11.<\/strong><\/p>\nAs for the baby’s weight, 8lbs – 8lbs 15 oz has the shortest odds at 7\/4.
