Why all the excitement about what David Cameron would call their baby but not what Ed Miliband's will be? I am dying to find out...

[yellowflowers]

Any suggestions. I reckon Jacob.

Joseph or Noah

Cain for his quote "am I my brothers keeper) in the bible !

William

I'm thinking Benjamin or James.

Red

or Ralph

Ephraim

Joshua or James. All the Daniels I know who have brothers have a Joshua or James.

Cyclops "Karl" I'd love to hope he would be brave enough!!
(They could maybe compromise on Friedrich)

gherkinwithapurplemerkin - you're expecting a conservative pm for the next 18 years? The way things are going I'm thinking they'll be lucky to manage another 18 months

Samuel or even Abraham. Or maybe Justin.

Am I the only one hoping for a Romeo & Juliet style romance with the new Milliband and little Florence Cameron

Eric (from Banana man) :D

Blimey. Not all Jewish boys have Biblical names you know. Some are called stuff like...Ed.

I know a Jewish guy called Merlin. He's a wizard.

If Milliband Jnr names his son the same name as ds I am changing his name. For some reason I think he is a twerp, might be the only one thoug.

yes, or perhaps 'Carl' to Anglicise things a bit! Or there's always plain old Charles!

Not new baby obviously but the labour leader one I am not a political fan and I have no idea why but his face makes my blood curdle. Just can't help it!

Oh no I'm not keen either. I can't bear Ed Miliband's voice. Find him really creepy. Not quite as off putting as Anne Widdicombe's voice but pretty close.

I immediately thought Thomas, too.

Billy. Or they could just cut to the chase and call him Silly.
They'd have had more choice for a girl- Milly, Tilly, Jilly, Lily...

As long as they don't call him after fruit...

Plums Milliband, anyone? Melons?

I go with Caleb

I think William

Elijah

Loony - Nope. Not 18 years in opposition but I reckon labour will lose next election (we all hate the Tories but I still think they'll win it ). And Ed will get the elbow as a result.
