'I gave my baby an extravagant Disney name - cruel trolls mocked me for it'

The internet has been divided after Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury announced the birth of their first child and revealed her unique Disney-themed name.

Molly-Mae claimed she'd had her heart set on the name 'Bambi' since she was a little girl and she knew that much like Marmite, some people would absolutely love it, while others wouldn't be so keen.

And that's definitely been the case following the announcement, with many people taking to social media to mock the former Love Island star after she shared the big life update.

"Does Molly-Mae not know what happened to Bambi’s mum," one Twitter user mused on Tuesday night.

While another cheekily said: "Oh deer".

Following the responses, Molly-Mae has turned comments off on her Instagram post and one mum knows only too well what she must be experiencing, as she too was cruelly trolled over the name of her baby girl.

Jade Jeanes and her husband Joshua decided to give their little one an "extravagant" name that reflected their love of all things Disney.

The couple from Bristol welcomed a daughter in 2019 and initially considered naming her Belle, after the heroine of the 1991 animated film Beauty and the Beast.

However, they decided that the moniker wasn't quite what they were looking for and instead opted for something much more unique.

After the arrival of their baby at St. Michael's Hospital, the pair settled on the name Disney - and they started getting surprised reactions to the name almost instantly, with nurses on the maternity ward sharing their shock over the choice.

But it wasn't just the nurses who commented on the child's name, as strangers soon started mocking it after Jade innocently shared a post on a parenting Facebook group.

The mum says she was taken aback by the wave of negative responses she received, with many people posting laughing and crying emojis.

However, she wasn't put off by the nasty messages, as she "loves" the name and was just thrilled to have a child after previously struggling to conceive.

"Friends and family love the name and I do too," she told The Bristol Post in 2019.

"It's no one's business what we decided to call her, but in the end people just either love it or hate it."

The mum went on to say that if she had a son in the future, she would consider calling him Sonic after the popular video game character as she believes unusual names are going to become increasingly popular choices.

And it looks like Jade was spot on, with celebrities recently opting for a number of weird and wonderful baby names, including Elon Musk and Grimes calling their child X Æ A-12 and Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott recently naming their second child Aire.
