Could Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's royal baby have this unusual name? - TODAYShow
Grace and Diana are still the top choices for a girl, but now an unexpected name is rising quickly in the ranks: Allegra.
According to Ladbrokes, a British betting company, there’s been a “flood of bets” over the past day or so that the royal baby, if it’s a girl, will be named Allegra.Bookies have slashed odds for the name from 100 to 1 to 12 to 1, meaning that Allegra is now the sixth most likely name for the future royal, and the third most likely girl’s name.
“We're confident the name will be among the frontrunners by the time the birth is announced,” Alex Apati, spokesperson for Ladbrokes, told TODAY Pop Culture in an email. The sudden surge in popularity of an unusual name like Allegra isn't typical in the world of royal baby betting, Apati added.Allegra is an Italian name meaning"joyful and merry," according to the baby website. It’s a pretty name but it’s definitely not a traditional choice, and some are wondering why it's rising to the top.
“In truth we're not entirely sure!” Apati told TODAY. “We've heard whispers it would have been Diana's go-to name were she to have given birth to a girl and my guess would be that punters have latched onto that.”A subtle connection to Princess Diana would be a sweet tribute to Prince Harry’s late mother. Then again, Diana itself is still the second-most popular name in Ladbrokes' rankings, with odds of 6 to 1.
