Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury have revealed their newborn baby’s name – and the internet is rather divided…
The couple – who first met on Love Island in 2019 – became parents again for the second time earlier this month when they welcomed a baby boy. Molly and Tommy already share daughter Bambi, three.
And now, after keeping their baby’s name a secret, the pair, both 27, have confirmed his name.
Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury reveal baby name
On Saturday night (June 13) boxer Tommy took part in a fight against Eddie Hall in Manchester. And while in the ring, Tommy revealed his and Molly’s newborn name.
The Love Island star had his son’s name, Midas, emblazoned across his back as he got ready to enter the ring. As he walked out, Tommy turned his back to the crowd making sure everyone could see his newborn’s name.
Molly-Mae was also at the event and watched on in the audience as Tommy sported their son’s name during his big fight – which he won.

Fans react to Molly’s baby’s name
As expected, the internet had a lot to say about Molly and Tommy’s baby name.
“Surely Molly Mae and Tommy haven’t named their baby Midas? Midas Fury? Bambi and Midas? Jesus wept,” said one person on X.
A second chimed in: “Molly Mae really cannot give her children normal names can she first Bambi and now Midas?”
A third fumed: “Molly – Mae and Tommy Fury naming their child Midas is a stupid [bleep] name. Why would you choose that???? It’s stupid. Do people not think about calling their children normal names these days first Bambi now Midas what’s next? January.”
However, other fans were loving Midas’ name. One person said: “I actually really like the name Molly Mae and Tommy have given their baby boy. Quite a cool name actually!”
Another gushed: “Love the name Midas and Molly Mae looks absolutely sensational. Good night.”
‘I just think it sounds so good’
It comes after Molly-Mae teased they have a name for their son. In a recent YouTube video, filmed before she gave birth, Molly-Mae said: “Final bets do we think I’m having girl or I’m having a boy? And what do we think we’re calling it?
“I think people are going to be a bit disappointed, upon reflection I don’t think it’s that crazy. I know people are going to pronounce it wrong.”
She added: “It’s definitely not as different as Bambi I wouldn’t say. But I have only ever heard one other child be called it and it’s not someone in the public eye, it’s literally just someone I am connected to through a friend, someone they know their child is called it.
“But I just think it sounds so good with the surname Fury that is another reason why I love it so much.”
Three baby names Molly-Mae fans were hoping for
Although Molly and Tommy are clearly very pleased with their baby name choice, some fans online are rather disappointed.
In fact, there were three names in the running that eagle-eyed fans of the couple were sure could be the name of the newest addition to the Fury family.
TikTok creator @chaos.to.sanity chimed in with their theory about Molly and Tommy’s little boy’s name.
They predicted that instead of directly naming their son after Tommy, they could dub him a name inspired by his dad.
They said: “I’ve got a really strong gut feeling that it’s Tadgh. Tadgh Fury. That is a top name. That’s a strong name, Tadgh.”
The name comes from traditional Irish and English roots and because of Tommy’s own Irish roots, it was a top contender online.
“Don’t because my daughter is named Bambi and my son is Tadhg,” one fan chimed in on TikTok, alongside a flurry of fans anticipating the name reveal.
Another unique name was also in the running, linked to Bambi.
Molly-Mae baby name uproar
Some fans thought that Molly could possibly name her bundle of joy Roux.
Social media users guessed Molly could continue with the Disney theme after calling her daughter Bambi and name her second child Roux.
“I’d say roux is more likely, it’s Disney themed like Bambi. As in Roo the kangaroo from Winnie the Pooh,” penned one TikTok user.
“Roo.. as in Ruairidh (pronounced ROO-ray)….Ruairidh Fury…Roo from Winnie the Pooh.. Bambi & Roo,” explained another.
Molly fans also pointed out that at her baby shower they used dark red decorations and Roux is derived for the French word for red.
Meanwhile, there was a final guess popular with TikTok users, as it paired well with Bambi.
Some users guessed Beau, as Molly had implied there would be some difficulty in pronouncing the name due to the spelling.
So, which name is your favourite?
