Kerry Katona blasts Molly-Mae Hague for “ridiculously” naming her “poor” newborn daughter Bambi

Kerry Katona has criticized Molly-Mae Hague and her boyfriend Tommy Fury for naming their newborn daughter Bambi.

The former singer, 42, said the decision was “ridiculous” and that the former Love Island stars, both 23, should consider changing their minds.

He went on to express his concern that the ‘poor kid’ will be bullied at school because of the unusual title.

The former Celebrity Big Brother housemate wrote on her OK! column: That’s good news, but I have to admit, I’m not a fan of the name.

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

‘The poor boy could get some stick in school. If you haven’t registered the name yet, perhaps you should consider changing it.’

Earlier this week, Molly-Mae shared a snap of her baby’s name in light-up letters overlooking her little girl in her crib, having previously admitted some fans would ‘hate’ it.

She captioned the post: ‘Bambi’ along with a heart emoji.

The name Bambi is of Italian origin and is believed to derive from the word ‘bambino’, which means ‘child’.

Molly-Mae had previously admitted that she always knew what she was going to name her daughter, adding that she knew some of her fans wouldn’t like it.

In a previous YouTube Q&A, he said: “It’s not made up, it’s not made up at all, I can’t explain it.” It’s just not a name that’s been used before. It’s very, very different and weird and you’re either going to love it or you’re going to hate it.

My name has been chosen since I was a child. It has always been a dream girl name and luckily when I met Tommy and told him the name I always dreamed of wearing, he loved it too.

‘It’s a really unusual and different name, I don’t know anyone else with the name. I haven’t seen any other girl with that name before, it’s just that different.

It comes after the influencer revealed that she managed to have a natural birth as she had hoped, instead of a C-section.

Calling the birth “the biggest and best achievement of my entire life,” the star detailed that she “couldn’t wait” to share more details with fans.

Molly-Mae previously shared with fans that she hoped to have a natural birth and that she would “do whatever she can to get the girl out.”

And confirming that this was possible with an update on Saturday, the influencer shared a photo of some poloroid snaps from the delivery room.

She wrote: ‘The beginning of labor ❤️ Many of you have asked me if I was able to have a natural birth since Tommy was wearing a robe in our first photo… yes I was able to have a natural birth.

‘I can’t wait to tell you all about this soon. The greatest and best achievement of my entire life.

Molly-Mae representatives told MailOnline earlier this week: “Molly and Tommy feel very blessed to have welcomed a healthy baby girl into their family on January 23, 2023.”

They are enjoying every moment. Molly and the baby are fine.

Earlier in the day, Ulrika Jonsson defended Molly-Mae Hague after she spent £8K on her newborn daughter Bambi’s cot and came under fire over the baby’s name.

The 55-year-old television presenter lashed out at people who criticized the influencer for her “envy” and said she has the right to spend her money as she pleases.

Molly-Mae, who welcomed her first child with partner Tommy Fury last month, left fans in awe when she announced her newborn’s name with a photo of the luxurious crib.

Ulrika said, “She’s being tricked by calling the newborn Bambi, but I think, why not? It’s sweet enough.

Of course, much of the criticism is based on envy. Molly-Mae has the right to do whatever she wants with her money.

He continued in his column for Sun: ‘Mere mortals can only dream of a nursery like little Bambi’s, who will be completely oblivious to the over-indulgence that surrounds her.’

Ulrika went on to explain that it reminded her of welcoming her first child and feeling that everything had to be perfect.
