Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have joked they are calling their baby Dellen, if it's a boy.

The Hollywood heavyweight and his beautiful fiancée quipped they were planning to give their unborn child the unusual name in honour of US chat show host Ellen DeGeneres during an interview on her programme, 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show'.

The smitten pair also told the blonde star they would consider hiring her as a babysitter - if she was interested.

Ellen told the couple: "Send it over because, babysitting, I think, is like

$12 an hour. And they will take advantage of you for like $15."

Cruise replied: "Can we negotiate?" before Ellen said: "Oh! I'll do it for less."

Meanwhile, it's been claimed the star couple are set to tie the knot this summer - but want to wait until their baby is born.

The pair have revealed they hope to marry after Tom finishes shooting 'Mission Impossible 3' but may put off their nuptials until the autumn.

Tom said: "I do not have a film after 'Mission Impossible' and that is a good time to get married."
