All bets are on: And the first One Direction descendent will be named….

International betting providors, Betfair are possibly the people most excited excited about the announcement of 23-year-old Louis Tomlinson (of One Direction) and, stylist and incubator of the first 1D baby, Briana Jungwirth's forthcoming arrival.

The Novelties and Politics Trader for Betfair, Cormac Dowling has made his feelings on the news abundantly clear with this (slightly hysterical) statement: “This news is stratospheric given that the baby will officially be the very first descendant of One Direction. The boys are pop royalty and all eyes will be on what Louis Tomlinson and Briana Jungwirth will name their first born."

Betfair have released the names of the top contenders for the moniker of this pop prince baba and there's some pretty unusual options on the cards.

“We make it 12/1 that the baby will be named after Louis’ mother, Johannah and 14/1 that it will be named after both himself and his mentor Louis. Of all his bandmates, Niall is the favourite to provide the namesake at 20/1. For anyone expecting the pair to follow in the footsteps of Kimye and name their child after their favourite direction, it is 50/1 that the baby will be called One.”

At 100/1, Jesus and Naughty Boy are lagging far behind the bookies' favourites. Watch this space...
