I am taking a few days off with the family, so no betting tips until Saturday, and I am enjoying Cornwall, like David Cameron and his family. Luckily though I have not added to my family whilst here!
David Cameron and his wife Samantha are considering what to call their new daughter, with the Prime Minister keen to include a reference to the county of her birth.
Mr Cameron said he was open to suggestions for Cornish names after the couple’s “unbelievably beautiful” daughter was born early during their family holiday in the county.
The 6lb 1oz girl was delivered by Caesarean section at the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro on Tuesday. She had been due next month.
Although the baby has not yet been named, Mr Cameron said: “I think maybe we’ll have to have – not that I’ll have any say in it, of course – we’ll have to have something Cornish in the middle.”
He added that his wife was looking through a baby name book “and she’ll decide, I’m sure, before long”.
Following the news that the Cameron family have given birth to a baby girl, William Hill have opened a book on the name of the new arrival. Marnie is the 2/1 favourite and family names Agnes and Enid are the 3/1 joint second-favourites. Hills are also offering an each way market in case the name is used as a middle name.
Tory favourites Edwina and Margaret at both priced at 50/1 and 1000/1 for Speed. Hills are also offering 10/1 that they couple have another baby while David Cameron is still in office.
All the early money is for Marnie and it seems that this is polling the top vote with punters, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
