Family celebrities; retired agony aunt Beck and ex policeman Dan McFarr are often in the news with increasing speculation on the name that will finally be chosen for their first baby.

Online bookmakers 'Ladibrokes' are quoting the following odds on the name of the McFarr baby which is due any day now. Although medical opinion says the baby will be a boy, Ladibrokes are still taking bets on girls names too after Grandma Joan saw the bump and pronounced the baby to be a girl.

So here are the odds, the overwhelming favourite name quoted at 2:1 is 'Metadata'. This is reputedly because Dan favours having a studious child. The current name 'Lykergus' is an outside choice at odds of 8:1 and you can get odds of 16:1 for Becks old favourite 'Vim'. With odds of 100:1 is 'David' which might be worth a punt as Beck's brother used to be a fan of David Banner in the Incredible Hulk TV series. For a girls name the favourite is 'Xena Warrior Princess McFarr' at odds of 25:1.
