Fans of Britain's biggest family the Radfords try guess name of overdue baby boy

A daughter of Britain's biggest family will soon be adding to her own brood- and has kept fans of her unborn baby guessing the boy’s name.

Millie Radford, one of 21 siblings born to parents Sue and Noel, is expecting her second child following the birth of Ophelia in September 2020.

This time around she kept her pregnancy a secret until her due date on February 11 when she last posted on her personal Instagram page, Lancs Live reported.

Writing alongside a sweet image of her holding little Ophelia who cradled her mum’s baby bump, Millie wrote: “Happy due date little man.

“Ophelia is obsessed with her little brother already 11-02-2022.”

The family’s account replied: “So excited to meet him, just don’t keep us all waiting too long, little man.”

Her post fuelled speculation over his name with many fans suggesting it could start with the same letter as his elder sister.

One fan said: "Trying to think of boy names beginning with O as I remember you saying you wanted all your children to have the same initials."

Referring to a moment when Millie spoke to her mum Sue about the potential of naming all her children with the same initial of her first born Ophelia.

In response, Mille said: "Awwww aha no his name doesn’t begin with O, although I do remember saying that."

But this wasn't the end of it for other fans who continued to throw in name suggestions for boys beginning with an O.

Another fan said: "Oliver, Oscar, Owen, Otis, Oakley, Orlando that's all I could think of."

To which Millie confirmed: "His name doesn’t begin with an O."

While baby number two remains hidden away from the spotlight, Millie's other posts and snaps lead to the idea that she could be heavily overdue.

While some of the older children have moved out and started families of their own , the majority of the Radfords all live in an enormous ten bedroom house in Morecambe.

The family recently packed the pews of their local church, including all 22 of their children, to celebrate the christening of the two youngest members.

Sue and Noel took part in the final christening for their two youngest daughters Heidi and Bonnie in the most recent episode (February 9) of Channel 5 series ‘22 Kids & Counting’, which documents the family’s often-hectic life.

The gathering in Morecambe Parish church was the first time four generations of the Radford family had gathered in one place in over two years, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Daily Star reports.
