British bookies take wagers on possible names of royal baby
(Xinhua)   2013-07-18 11:19:56

BEIJING, July 18 (Xinhuanet) -- If Prince William and his wife Kate still haven’t decided what to call their baby when it’s born, they can stop worrying. Britain’s bookmakers have already made the decision for them.

The bookies say the most likely names are George for a boy, and Alexandra for a girl, as the country already has six King Georges, and Alexandra is the Queen’s middle name. Reflecting the current mood in this betting-mad nation, one bookmaker has set up his board right outside the front entrance to the hospital.

Apart from names, people are also gambling on other features related to the royal baby, including its weight, gender and hair color. Meanwhile, the Duchess of Cornwall has hinted that the baby might be born before the end of the week.
