As the nation eagerly awaits the birth of the second child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in what has become known as the Great Kate Wait, we have decided to ask Chronicle readers what they think the new baby will be called.

You can choose whether you think it will be a boy or girl and then let us know what you think mum and dad will call the baby.

William Hill have a new favourite in the betting for what William and Kate will call their second child as Charlotte (2-1) overtakes long term favourite Alice (5-2). The odds for the top two boys names are currently James (16-1) and Arthur (20-1).

Spokesman Rupert Adams said: "We have been inundated with bets for the name Charlotte and for the first time in nine months Charlotte is the new favourite."

Other names on their list include Nigel (250/1), Patrick (250/1), Bruce (500/1), Chardonnay (500/1), Posh (500/1), Seychelles (500/1) and Tyrone (500/1).

The odds for the gender of the baby currently stand at 4/9 female and 13/8 male.
