| Bet On PM Cameron's New Baby Girl Name |
UK prime minister David Cameron and wife Samantha yesterday celebrated the birth of their “unbelievably beautiful” baby girl, and sparked a rush by punters to correctly predict what the happy couple will name their family's latest addition.
Initially, bookmakers laid odds for both boys and girls names as they sex of the baby was unknown, but since the birth, bookies have changed the odds on offer, and there is a definitely a big difference in thinking from the leading UK bookies.

Paddy Power are favouring that the prime minister's new baby girl will be named after wife Samantha's mother, Annabel. Annabel was one of the more popular names backed by punters before the sex of the baby was determined, so now the bookies have slashed odds to 5/1.
Paddy Power Odds
Annabel 5/1
Eleanor 6/1
Elizabeth 6/1
Margaret 12/1
Miriam 16/1 (after Nick Clegg's Wife)
Darren Haines, spokesman for Paddy Power, said: "Punters had previously been erring towards the PM's new baby being a boy but with the arrival of a beautiful baby girl Annabel is leading the way at this early stage."
Paddy Power are also laying odds of 150/1 that she will lead the Conservative party at some point in the future, and that she will become leader of the Liberal Democrats – at odds of 500/1.
