As Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury settle into life as a family of four, fans remain curious as to what their newborn son will be called.

The reality royalty couple, who first met on Love Island in 2019, welcomed their second baby last week, after three-year-old daughter Bambi’s birth in January 2023.

Molly-Mae kept her new son’s gender private throughout her pregnancy, only revealing it after the initial post announcing his birth.

Speculation has since been rife about his name, following the stir that Bambi’s caused last time – and the fact that Molly-Mae has already warned everyone is going to ‘hate’ their choice.

And now it’s being reported that their new baby’s name will be revealed for the first time on Tommy’s shorts this weekend when he boxes Eddie Hall in their pay-per-view match on Saturday.

A source told The Sun: ‘The little man’s name will be on Tommy’s shorts at his fight along with Bambi’s. That’s how they are going to announce it to the world.

‘The shorts will be two-toned colour. It was Tommy’s idea and Molly was very open to it.’

The insider continued: ‘Now the little fella is here it’s a no-brainer — what better way to announce his name than on his dad’s boxing shorts.’

They also said that Molly-Mae was ‘now obsessed with it’ and hoping to be there at the match, with plans for Tommy’s walk out to include music and blue fireworks.

After the new mum returned home from the Portland Hospital, she shared a black and white photo of her family all cuddled up on the sofa.

‘I can’t believe I have two children,’ she wrote on Instagram stories alongside the picture, which showed Bambi sat on her dad’s lap while Molly-Mae held their newborn in her arms, covering his face with a small heart emoji.

Fans are anticipating an unusual moniker for her boy after Molly-Mae warned it was an unusual one.

In a March vlog, she said they were ‘pretty set’ on the name, adding: ‘Also just can’t wait for everyone to hate it, obviously it’s a different name – we were never going to call our baby just an ordinary name, that was never going to happen.’

She went on to say she had ‘actually only ever heard of one other baby being called this name’.

‘Whenever I see cool baby name lists on TikTok, I have never, ever, ever seen this name in any of these lists, which is just really quite original of us,’ she added, before joking she ‘can’t wait for everyone to literally probably dislike it’.

‘But yeah, it was never gonna be an ordinary name guys, let’s be honest,’ she acknowledged.

Her cosy updates from home have continued, with the influencer and entrepreneur also getting candid about how different her experience as a mother had been this time around.

‘Thank you for healing so many of my newborn fears little one,’ she wrote on a photo of her new son resting asleep on a blue blanket.

‘The peace and happiness I feel this time around is something I wished for but didn’t know would come.

‘The difference compared to this stage with Bambi is indescribable.’
