Bookie invites bets on Dannii baby name

A bookmaker has started taking bets on the name of Dannii Minogue's first child.

The X Factor judge is due to give birth in July and has kept quiet over whether she is expecting a boy or a girl.

Paddy Power is now offering customers the chance to predict what the baby will be called. The early favourite is Carol - the name of Minogue's mother - at 6/1, with Isabella, Lily, Ava and Chloe all following at 8/1.

Also in the running are the names of some other significant faces in Minogue's life - dad Ronald (12/1), sister Kylie (16/1) and X Factor co-stars Cheryl (16/1), Simon (25/1) and Louis (33/1).

The names Jacques and Julian are seen as the most unlikely prospects at 200/1 following the singer's failed relationships with racing driver Jacques Villeneuve and actor Julian McMahon.

Meanwhile, a separate book invites bets on whether Minogue could be expecting twins (6/1), triplets (50/1) or quadruplets (500/1).
