Charlotte Church reportedly hopes that the baby she is carrying will be a boy because she’s worry about a daughter following in her own partying footsteps.

According to the Sun, Charlotte, who is thought to be around three months pregnant, has told friends that she’d like two sons and a daughter eventually but the boys first.

A source told the newspaper: “Charlotte is telling people, ‘I hope I have a boy - girls are too much trouble.’”

“After all she’s been through, she knows better than anyone.”

Charlotte and boyfriend Gavin Henson are busy deciding on names for their offspring and are considering Robin or Shane for a boy, or Emma, Willow (Lolo for short) or Kiki (after singer Kiki Dee) for a girl.

The source added: “[Charlotte]’s had a great laugh coming up with wacky names but these are the ones she’s serious about.”

The baby is due in the early autumn.
