Bookies are taking bets on what Britney Spears will name her new baby

What do you think she’ll choose?

Since Britney revealed the amazing news that she is expecting her third child, there has been much excitement among her fans.

There has also been a lot of speculation on what she might call her new baby and some bookies think they have it figured out, with many placing bets on it.

Heading the names for a boy is Sam, after her husband, at odds of 10/1.

Michael, after her father-in-law, is a 14/1 shot, while Irish names such as Conor can be backed at 40/1.

Meanwhile, Justin, a nod to her former flame Justin Timberlake, is an outsider at 100/1 (but personally, with their history I don’t see her choosing the name Justin.)

I think it’s safe to say that she won’t be naming a baby boy after her own father Jamie.

Rose is the favourite girls name at 7/1, but after her recent gushing social media tribute to actresses Kate Hudson and Drew Barrymore, Ladbrokes has seen money for both names at 8/1 and 10/1 respectively.

Fellow pop icons Christina Aguilera and Cher are also in the mix with Cher sitting at 20/1 and Christina at 40/1.

Speaking with Nicola McGeady of Ladbrokes, she said;

“Fans have been in a frenzy since Britney’s pregnancy news broke and it seems there’s plenty of noughties nostalgia in the air with names like Justin, Paris and Cher in the mix.

Some patriotic punters are even backing an Irish name after she called her first son Sean, an Irish classic!”

What do you think?

Will Britney name her child after another celebrity or stick to naming them after a family member (though probably not any of her own)?
