EXCLUSIVE: As Tommy Fury confirms the date he is set to share his newborn son's name, we speak to the UK's leading baby name consultant on her predictions12:36, 12 Jun 2026Molly-Mae Hauge fans are counting down the minutes until they find out her new baby's name, and now an expert has revealed her telling predictions ahead of the big reveal.The Love Island star announced the happy news of her second baby's birth on 3 June, sharing a gorgeous black and white family photo featuring Bambi, Tommy Fury and her newborn baby in hospital.A few days later, the 27-year-old shared the baby's gender, revealing she is now a 'boy mum' and that she is 'new to this'. But she still didn't share his name, leaving fans on tenterhooks.In the run up to the birth, Molly said she knew her followers were expecting an unconventional name and revealed that the moniker is definitely unique. Speaking in her Youtube vlog, she said: "It's definitely not as different as Bambi, I would say. But I've only ever heard one other child be called it, and it's not someone in the public eye."The star has dropped other clues, including that it "flows well with Fury" and that a lot of people are going to mispronounce it. Tomy has confirmed he will reveal the name of his baby boy when he returns to the ring this weekend.The boxer told Mirror Fighting: "All will be revealed on Saturday night. It I'm looking forward to it. I think I've asked I've been asked more about the name than the actual fight. It's going to be an entertaining night on Saturday and all will be revealed. It's been a huge week for me and it can't be described anything other as a huge blessing.While the couple have kept the name strictly under wraps, fans have been working overtime trying to guess it. From trawling through every detail on Molly's posts and videos for hints - including the use of the cloud emoji in a number of snaps - her followers have been sharing their theories on what it could be in viral videos.But what do the experts think? We quizzed SJ Strum, the UK's leading baby name consultant, on her predictions. The expert, who has helped celebrities like Molly choose the perfect moniker for their tot, tells the Mirror: "Molly says it's hard to pronounce but goes with their surname. If they're linking on meaning I love the idea of Shiloh - it means peaceful, which is a nice juxtaposition to Fury. Pronounced Shy-Low, it's modern and sweet and very on trend."The couple could have gone for the Irish name Tadgh, which means Poet. Strum says it feels "whimsy like Bambi and is pronoucned 'Tie-g' like the beginning of Tiger, which gives a cute animal nod."However, the Furys love a "mythological name" and with this in mind, Strum says Hercules might be the winner. "It could be another great Disney nod - it means glory or fame. Hercules is renowned for his strength, making it really apt for the boxing family. Plus, it's pronounced Her-Cu-Lees as three syllables, making it a bit difficult to potentially get right 'on paper'."Her final guess was Midas, a leading theory with fans. "Lots of guesses are going to Midas; a mythological King who turned everything he touched into gold. It would really appeal to the champion boxer plus has a sweet sound that flows with Molly-Mae with the same first initial," the expert explains.Celebrities often choose unique names for their children, and that culture has seeped into wider society too with lots of young parents plumping for unconventional monikers. "Choosing a baby name is a huge decision; it's like your first love letter to your baby and people really spend months researching to find the perfect name," Strum says."Modern parents love a unique name just like celebrities, it helps their child stand out for hopefully all the right reasons as growing up in the 90s there were a lot of children who shared the same first name - Jacks and Bens, Emilys and Katies."Those kids are now becoming parents and want their own child to have a name that's just theirs. It's led to a huge boom in baby names, with over 5,800 girl names registered last year and over 5,100 boy names - it's a big departure from when most of the population shared a top 50 name."Molly has great style and taste which is why she has so many followers so whatever the name I'm sure it's fashion forward and will be perfect for their precious baby boy."Speaking about their newborn bubble, Tommy further told The Mirror: "I've had a smile on my on my face all week. Everything's gone smoothly; Molly's happy, everyone's happy. So it's just about getting on to fight night, getting that done, and enjoying the summer with the family.Article continues below"That's what's on my calendar for the foreseeable. It's been the best week that you could ever ask for. A beautiful baby boy, and a main event on Saturday night in my hometown. It's full steam ahead now."
