Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury, who met on Love Island in 2019, announced on Monday (January 31) the birth of their baby girl - and they’ve given her an unconventional name.
The social media influencer’s baby daughter is called Bambi.
The news was shared on Instagram, with the 23-year-old sharing a photo of her week-old baby laying in a crib in a nursery that featured the name Bambi in light-up lettering on the wall.
It was captioned with her daughter’s name, followed by a white love heart.
Fans have speculated on Molly-Mae’s unusual baby name, with some suggesting she can’t have seen the Disney Bambi film, which has a rather distressing end - make that a distressing middle as well - for the young buck. Yes, Bambi is a boy.
The name revelation comes after she warned her fans they were either going to "love it or hate it" in a YouTube video posted in October last year.
In the video, she said she had the name of her baby girl picked out since she was a young child herself.
"Luckily, when I met Tommy and I told him the name I’ve always dreamed of using, he absolutely loved it too,” she said.
Yet quirky or downright bizarre baby names are nothing unusual within the celebrity world.
Here’s a roundup of 10 of the most unusual baby names.
