Baby name lovers and Nicole Kidman fans can now get together for a chance to get rich.  An Irish betting agency, Paddy Power, has created a betting game out of name predictions for the celebrity baby due to be born this June.

Nicole Kidman and husband singer Keith Urban have kept the gender of the baby a secret, sparking a wide range of baby name predictions.  With an international spotlight on the pregnancy and fan excitement running high, the Irish sports and casino gambling giant Paddy Power has jumped on the lucrative opportunity.  According to Paddy Power, the most likely names to be chosen are Anthony and Janelle, which happen to be the names of Kidman’s parents.  Among the least likely to make the list are Tom (the name of Kidman’s ex-husband Tom Cruise), and Suri, Tom Cruise’s daughter with new wife actress Katie Holmes.
Other noteworthy betting options are names Satine, Perth, Prince and Honolulu.  Considering Kidman’s previously adopted children are named Isabella Jane and Connor Antony, a name like Honolulu may not be the most likely option.  No matter what the final decision will be, Paddy Power may have started a new betting trend.  With the Hollywood baby craze in full swing, lottery companies across the US may pick up on the Irish idea, giving old-time betting a new celebrity baby flavor.
