Come on then. Boys' names:

"Novelty"??!

Don't believe George is a good bet, as explained previously, as I can see that being Charles's regnal name.

Any thoughts?

[Tonji]

Louis.

I had a boxer dog called Louis. 

[rinswun]

After what Pat Richards just did, Richard would be a worthy name. Audacious stuff.

Edward a longer price than Bradley?! Give me strength.

If we are getting all Royal baby feverish I suggest £15 on baby to be born on a Monday at 6/1. Supposed to be around 8 weeks pregnant now, which gives a due date of the first week of July. The 1st of July is a Monday.

Princess Diana's birthday was on the first of July. Even if that doesn't work you still have the right price for every other Monday.

I think the weekend days are too short, nobody wants to be going to hospital at the weekends in July with all those pre season football injuries taking up loads of attention and no sandwiches in the vending machine.

Shrewd.

Think we should be taking the evens the Royal Baby is a boy

Boy should be a marginal shade of odds on if the pregnancy was completely random given first pregnancy statistics favouring boys slightly- however surely they are "trying for a boy"- (certain techniques and timings are said to add small %s to the chances of conceiving each sex), as all Royals generally are which should give us a marginal edge taking evens.

Recommend a solid £25 at evens

Can't believe I would ever do this, but I'm going to have to disagree with Dubai on a bet recommend.

Kate has hyperemesis gravidarum (severe morning sickness) and this is linked to a higher concentration of something called human chorionic gonadotropin, which is more common when the baby is a girl.

As is common on this thread I present a paper from The Lancet to back up my argument, which found that in the cases that were looked at when the mother was admitted to hospital in the first three months (as Kate has), the baby was a boy only 44.3% of the time, compared to 51.4% of all births being male.

So, we're getting evens on a 4/5 shot.

Recommend bet on Girl an Evens.

Next time you're tempted to oppose Dubai in a flip, think twice.

[doubleup]

why aren't they doing ew betting on the names?

[The Camel]

hoping for Spencer here.

Big odds on it'll be part of his name I reckon, but a bit naff to give it as his first name I think.

Royal rebuff? Incred baby-drop prediction skills go unrewarded?

Wasn't quite in the 9lb+ range though, otherwise this would have been a sad rebuffal festival on SUCH a joyful day.

If CH5 move Big Brother so we can look at a bunch of chimps staring at an easel in a courtyard, I'm emigrating.

Pretty sure Mere was in charge that week.....

In fact, as he is currently absent, I deffo blame him. What he can't see, he can't defend.

Unbefuckinglievable.

I blame Piers Morgan. Not just because he's their standard royal correspondent. I just like blaming him.
