British pop star ROBBIE WILLIAMS has asked fans for baby name suggestions following news he is set to become a first-time father.

The Take That singer took to his official blog on Friday to announce his wife Ayda Field is pregnant, gushing, "We've seen scans and cried... Looked at babies in commercials and teared up."

Reports suggested the unborn tot is a girl and the couple planned to call her Roberta, but Williams has denied the gossip and instead asked fans to suggest names for the baby.

In a post on his website, he writes:

"Hey friendlies... overwhelmed with the well-wishing... bless you all...

"To fill you in we don't know if it's a girl or a boy... we've no names yet either... maybe you can give us a few ideas... girl/boy... go on friendlies do your best."
