These Are The Names People Are Betting On For Baby McGregor

Katie Mythen-Lynch

Rumour has it the newest member of the McGregor clan won’t be arriving until May, but the bookies are already in overdrive when it comes to taking bets on what The Notorious and his long-time partner will call their first born. 

If you fancy a flutter, Paddy Power have already compiled a list, detailed in the Irish Mirror today, and the options are distinctly down to earth.

The names Conor and Dee are 3/1 joint-favourites. Next in the betting is Christopher (9/2), followed by McGregor’s parents’ names Margaret and Tony, both also 9/2.

The UFC champion’s sisters Erin and Aoife are high on the list, both at 8/1. Dee was bridesmaid for Aoife earlier this month when she married Mark Elliot at Saint Mary’s Church in Enniskerry, Co Wicklow, followed by a reception at the nearby five star Powerscourt Hotel.

The names of McGregor’s previous opponents Nate (125/1) and Jose (200/1) also feature, as does the name Ronda (150/1), a nod to MMA fighter Ronda Rousey.

Spokesman for Paddy Power Feilim Mac An Iomaire told the paper: “With McGregor being regarded as the king of MMA his first child is bound to draw the attention usually reserved for a royal baby.”
