'We named our children for what we love - Bambi, Rocky films and Tyson Fury'

Meet the children who are all named after something their parents love – including daughter Bambi from mum's favourite Disney film and son Rocky-Tyson after dad's obsession with boxing. Mum Pippa Tinsley, 32, and husband Luke, 33, have named all six of their children– who are aged between 15 and three – after something close their heart including their favourite bands, films and sports stars.

Both parents are boxing fanatics and named their youngest child Rocky-Tyson, three, after Sylvester Stallone’s character Rocky Balboa and two-time heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury. They also took inspiration from the sport to name six-year-old son Hatton, after boxing legend Ricky Hatton, a British former professional boxer.

Pippa knew she wanted one of her girls to have a Disney inspired name and although ‘Bambi’ started as a joke, the parents quickly fell in love with the name given to their four-year-old daughter. Her eldest Joel Scofield, 15, was named after the lead singer of Good Charlotte, Joel Madden, and the main character Michael Schofield from the TV show Prison Break.
