Inspired by a four-legged, doe-eyed Disney character, a social media influencer gave her new baby a peculiar name that sparked a wave of harsh criticisms from the online community who say it’s a “brilliant stripper name.” But the baby, who shares her name with the child of a popular reality TV star, is perfectly named, and her mom says she does not care if people hate it.

In January 2023, Molly-Mae Hague shared the joyous news of her baby girl’s arrival on social media. Molly-Mae, who met her partner Tommy Fury on the reality show Love Island, introduced her daughter’s name, Bambi, in an endearing Instagram post featuring a photo of the adorable baby in her beautifully decorated bedroom.

Almost instantly, the couple, both 23 years old at the time, faced a barrage of negative comments and online scrutiny. Many people voiced their opinions about the baby’s unique, Disney-inspired name. Despite the hate, Molly-Mae and Tommy stand by their decision and believe there is no better name for their daughter. Bambi was the only name Molly-Mae had ever wanted for her daughter, and Tommy fully supported her choice.

The couple disabled comments on the announcement to protect their child from unsolicited opinions and prevent trolling. However, Molly-Mae and Tommy are not alone in their love for the name Bambi. Just a few months prior, Indy Clinton, a 25-year-old TikTok influencer from Sydney, Australia, named her daughter Bambi Valentine. Indy, like Molly-Mae, has a deep connection to the Disney character and wanted to give her daughter a unique and unusual name.

Both Molly-Mae and Indy have faced public scrutiny and judgment for their choice of names. However, they have also received overwhelming support and praise for their creativity. Many people gushed over the newborn’s photos and expressed their love for the name Bambi.

Despite the criticisms, Molly-Mae and Indy stand by their decisions. They believe that unique names are a trend, and Bambi fits perfectly in the era of unconventional names like Rivers, Bears, Forests, Stormis, and Wolfs.
