The conversation has continued on Twitter, where there were plenty of people who thought it was “beautiful” while others claimed it was “cruel”.
“Molly Mae is the prime example of ‘Remember you are naming an adult human not a baby’,” one wrote.
“Guys I’m gonna be so real with you rn [right now]. Bambi is a dreadful name. Stop naming babies and start naming people,” another raged.
As another claimed: “Bambi Fury sounds like the name of a knock-off Disney parody.”
“I’m afraid to say that when I saw Molly Mae’s baby name, I laughed out loud,” another confessed.
“Do some people not think about the fact that their child keeps that name for the rest of their life LMFAO imagine a grown adult called Bambi,” one lamented.
Others however were quick to defend the choice, stressing “influencers are humans too” and describing the backlash as an “over-reaction”.
While many more described the name as “cute” and “adorable”.
The controversial choice in name comes after fans were outraged Molly Mae and Tommy’s baby reveal was “ruined” by YouTube star Jake Paul.
The professional boxer has been trying to get Fury into the ring for a highly publicised fight since 2021, and took to Twitter on January 28 to state the British sports star had “no excuse” now the baby was born.
However, the couple didn’t go public with their child’s birth until Jan 31.
As a result, loyal fans their loyal fans were up in arms, claiming a special moment was “ruined” by the American YouTuber.
“Jake Paul is wrong for this, he is just trying to do anything that will get under Tommy Fury’s skin,” one TikTok user declared in a now viral video.
“He knows Molly-Mae would have wanted to announce this herself.”
The video prompted a flurry of support from other social media users who all agreed Paul was “wrong” for revealing the baby had been born before Molly-Mae and Fury had the chance to share the news themselves.
“I feel sorry for Molly for not being able to announce it how she wanted to,” one commented.
“If I was Molly I’d be fuming,” another said.
As another raged: “He ruined it.”
The pair have since scheduled their clash for February 26 in Saudi Arabia after two previous fights were cancelled, leaving tension between the pair bubbling.
