It's been nearly 24 hours since Tom Cruise's publisister Lee Anne DeVette shocked the world with the announcement that Katie Holmes' womb is overflowing with the alleged fruit of the couple's seemingly impossible premarital love. What better way to celebrate the arrival of Cruise's M:I 3 world premiere gift to himself than to gamble on the baby's name on the internet? Felt-fingering brother site Oddjack points us to some early naming action at Paddy Power, where no-brainers like "Katie" and "Thomas" are going at 8-1 odds, alongside IMDb-flavored longshots like "Pacey" and "Maverick." Our money's on "Acceptably Similar Dyslexic Caucasian Of Below Average Height Failsafe Sample B—CAUTION DO NOT THAW PREMATURELY." While a little unwieldy for the birth certificate and celebratory cigar bands, we think it's important to respect paternity.
