Prime Minister Boris Johnson and wife Carrie announced the arrival of a baby daughter on Thursday morning, with their "healthy baby girl" doing well according to their statement.

**Odds probability include bookmakers overround edge - meaning percentages will add up to over 100%, this being the bookies edge - How bookmakers use odds
A whole host of suggested names related to the Prime Minister feature in the betting odds, including naming his daughter after former Conservative leader Maggie Thatcher.
Maggie at 7/2 is second favourite in the market, with Theresa and May also after Prime Minister Theresa May featuring higher up in the betting odds.
Names that are suggested include favourite Frances, Victoria and Elizabeth
Charlotte, Frances, Victoria and Elizabeth all feature in the market for Boris's baby name, with Charlotte favourite with bookies at 3/1.
Could Boris name his child after the Queen? At odds of 12/1 bookmakers suggest there's a 8% chance that that happens.
With Wilfred getting his name from Boris' Grandfather, it's interesting to see that his Grandmother's name Frances is favourite in the odds.
Carrie's Grandmother Anne could also be a name that would be worth mentioning when it comes to the betting for their daughter's name.
Who are Boris Johnson's other children?
Boris has confirmed in the last year that his new-born daughter will be his 7th child.
