Top names for Harry and Meghan’s baby

By Melissa Grant

With only months until Prince Harry and Meghan Markle welcome their first child, bookmakers are receiving plenty of bets on what the royal baby will be named.

Kensington Palace announced in October that The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were expecting.

The royal couple, who married last May, are expected to welcome their bundle of joy during the month of April.

While there is some speculation the royal baby will be a boy due to the way Meghan is carrying, punters aren’t convinced.

Diana is actually the name most favoured by punters, according to Sportsbet.

Diana ($9) would be a tribute to Prince Harry’s mother and is one of Princess Charlotte’s middle names.

Arthur, Alice, Edward, Grace and James are also popular bets with bookies.  The top 10 picks on Sportsbet comprise of six girl names and four boy names.
