Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury announced the birth of their son last week, and fans have been eagerly awaiting the name reveal. Bookmakers have made predictions that lean surprisingly traditional, with Irish names leading the odds.
Baby Name Hints
The Love Island star gave birth at London's Portland Hospital, with fiancé Tommy Fury by her side. The couple already has a three-year-old daughter named Bambi. They have not yet disclosed their second child's name but have offered clues. In her final YouTube vlog before giving birth, Molly-Mae said the name is less unusual than Bambi: "I think people are going to be a bit disappointed. Upon reflection, I don't actually think it's that crazy, but I know people are going to pronounce it wrong." She added, "I think if you know this word or the name, you would just pronounce it how it is. For me, I just see it exactly what it is."
This rules out some fan-suggested names like Thumper, Bambino, Simba, and Tommy Jr. Instead, fans and bookies believe the couple may choose an Irish name, given Tommy's heritage. Entertainment betting experts OLBG have shared predictions, with Irish names at the forefront.
Leading Predictions
- Midas: The Greek name is the current favorite with odds of 6/4 and a 40% share of predictions.
- Tadhg: An Irish name with 2/1 odds and 33.3% of predictions.
- Ruairi: Another Irish name at 3/1 odds.
- Fiachra: Irish name with 4/1 odds.
- Bodhi: At 5/1 odds.
Announcement Planned
Tommy Fury told fans the name will be revealed on Saturday, with his son's and daughter's names written on his boxing shorts ahead of his weekend fight. "All will be revealed on Saturday night. I'm looking forward to it. I think I've been asked more about the name than the actual fight," he told The Mirror. He praised his fiancée and baby: "I've had a smile on my face all week. Everything's gone smoothly; Molly's happy, everyone's happy. So it's just about getting on to fight night, getting that done, and enjoying the summer with the family."
He added, "It's been the best week you could ever ask for. A beautiful baby boy, and a main event on Saturday night in my hometown. It's full steam ahead now."
