Paris - Chances are just about even that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes will have a baby in 2006, Ananova reports.
Chances are 8/1 that the baby will be named Paris, and 50/1 that it will be called Nicole.
The celebrity couple announced their engagement in Paris last week Friday.
Speaking at a Paris news conference alongside Holmes, Cruise said: "Yes, I proposed to her ... it was early this morning at the Eiffel Tower, so I haven't slept at all."
Asked why he chose the famed Paris landmark, he said: "I've never been to the Eiffel Tower. It's Paris, it's a beautiful city, it's very romantic."
Cruise, 42, was in Paris to promote the French release of the Steven Spielberg film War of the Worlds. Holmes, who grew up with a poster of Cruise on her bedroom wall, has recently graced magazine and tabloid pages in her new role as the star's girlfriend.
The odds on the couple divorcing in 2006 are 5/1, the bookies said, according to Ananova.
