Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes having a boy: Baby names pay out big

Actress Katie Holmes is just days away from giving birth to the baby she's expecting with Tom Cruise. And this week's Us Weekly magazine will report that the couple will be having a baby boy when Katie gives birth.

The fabulous Katie Homes could give birth in just two weeks.

Reports are that Katie will have the baby in Los Angeles, but a report on the broadcast edition of Inside Edition on Tuesday night reports that the couple have also 'booked a room" in Toledo, Ohio just in case.

Speculation has been on high as to if Katie will have a drug free birth and expect the snappers to be on high alert as Katie nears her due date.

According to the cover of Star Magazine Tom may be "forcing (Katie) into a silent birth on a boat." Ugh.

But Us Weekly says - buy blue - it's a boy!

Sports Interaction (See Web Site Here) has removed betting odds on Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes baby's name.

The unfortunately reality is that Sports Interaction (See Web Site Here) felt that "Tomkat" will be a top choice at 9 to 1 odds (Sports Interaction lists these odds in the form of decimal lines).

Naming the child after dear 'ol mum might have been the best option at 7 to 1 odds if the baby were going to be a girl.  Cruz was posted with 34 to 1 odds ($34 is paid out for every $1 bet).  Nicole had odds of 13 to 1 while Elizabeth is listed with odds of 11 to 1.

“Tom has talked about naming the baby after himself and three generations before him – Thomas Cruise Mapother,” says a source.

Ron Hubbard III is listed with incredible odds of 102 to 1 meaning that for every $1 bet, this would translate into approximately $102 in winnings. 

Fear not for those of you who like betting on baby names!  SportsInteraction.com is currently offering odds on what name will be given to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's little one, with Brad Junior and Angelina the top picks (listed at 9 to 1 odds).  Jon II is 13 to 1 odds.  Jennifer is at 34 to 1 odds and Mickey (don't ask) is listed with odds of 34 to 1.
