Jesy’s ‘nod’ to Little Mix bandmate

Meanwhile, Ocean’s middle name, Jade, could also be seen as a nod to her former Little Mix bandmate Jade Thirwall.

Jesy, Jade, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Perrie Edwards shot to fame in the girl group back in 2011. In 2020 though, Jesy quit the band and two years later, the group went on a hiatus.

As for Jesy’s other daughter, Story, this name is derived from Old Norse storr, meaning ‘large’ or ‘big’.

A creative and adventurous name, Mom Junction reports that Story represents “a sense of depth, imagination, and the power of storytelling”.

Story’s middle name Monroe is of Scottish and Irish Gaelic origin. There’s a touch of Hollywood glamour to this moniker as well, due to Marilyn Monroe.
