After keeping fans in suspense, Molly-Mae Hague has finally revealed the name of her and Tommy Fury’s baby daughter.
Millionaire Molly-Mae, 23, gave birth to her first child last Tuesday and her seven million Instagram followers have been desperate to know the name she and Tommy, also 23, chose for their daughter.
Fans had warned that the “rare” name would split opinion, with Molly herself saying people would either love it or hate it. But after weeks of anticipation, the Pretty Little Thing ambassador revealed her daughter’s name via social media.

The influencer posted a photograph on Instagram showing the baby’s cot with the name Bambi above in white neon lights.
Bambi is a name of Italian origin and is thought to derive from the word 'bambino', which means 'child', The Mirror reports.
And despite initial fears Bambi’s name could prove unpopular among Molly-Mae’s fans, they soon swooped in to congratulate the first-time mum, with one saying: “"crying what a beautiful name"." Gorgeous name x," a second added.
Meanwhile, Paris Fury, Tommy’s sister in law, gushed: "Her name is just as cute as her. Loved seeing yous today she is absolutely perfect x".
"What a beautiful name," a third chimed followed by a red heart emoji.
Former Love Island-star Molly-Mae previously explained she chose the name for her first child years ago, saying: "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.
"It's a really really unusual and a different name, I do not know anybody else with the name. I've not seen any other girls with the name before, it's that different."
But some fans were on the money before Molly-Mae made the announcement today, with several claiming they already knew Bambi’s name.
One fan wrote: "I know the name. Somebody I know who is close to Molly's manager's family or something knows the name. It's Bambi."
While a second added: "It's Bambi apparently. Such a cute name."
"Yeah guys it's Bambi. You heard it here first," someone else penned, while another insisted: "Bambi Fury. I put my life on it."
But before announcing Bambi’s name, Molly-Mae posted touching words to her Instagram account: "I can't believe we get to keep you forever.
"Becoming your mum has been the best thing to ever happen to me. It doesn't seem possible but my love for you grows with each passing moment. There is no feeling like holding you in my arms, little one. My heart literally explodes.
"Thank you for entering this world safely for us and blessing us with the gift of being your parents.
"We promise to love and care for you unconditionally forever."
Meanwhile, it has recently been announced new dad and boxer Tommy will face nemesis Jake Paul in the ring next month.
The pair have exchanged bitter blows in recent months, especially after Tommy pulled out ahead of their scheduled bout last due to a sparring injury.
The pair are set to exchange blows in Saudi Arabia on February 26 in what is expected to be a sell-out showdown billed as The Truth.
