‘I think Bambi Fury sounds a bit ridiculous. It reminds me of the Disney film where the mother gets shot!

‘The poor kid might get some stick in school. If they haven’t registered the name yet, maybe they should consider changing it.’

Molly-Mae announced the name of her child via a sweet snap that showed a blue neon sign above a crib spelling out the word ‘Bambi’ – which was also the star’s caption for the upload.

Bambi is of Italian origin and is supposedly derived from the word ‘bambino’, meaning ‘child’.

Discussing what she would call her child in a previous YouTube Q&A, the PrettyLittleThing creative director said: ‘It’s not made up, it’s totally not made up, I can’t explain it. 

‘It’s just not a name that’s ever been used before. It’s very very different and rare and you’re either going to love it or hate it.

‘I’ve had the name picked out since I was a baby girl myself. It’s always been a dream baby girl name and luckily when I met Tommy and I told him the name I’ve always dreamt of using, he absolutely loved it too.’
