Ellen DeGeneres has some baby name suggestions for Benedict Cumberbatch, who is set to become a father for the first time. See the interview here!

The talk show host congratulated the actor on his engagement to Sophie Hunter and said: "And you're going to have a little baby."

Cumberbatch replied: "Or big, we don't know yet" before saying they have not asked whether it will be a boy or a girl.
