Kerry Katona brutally slams Molly-Mae’s baby name sparking new celebrity feud
KERRY Katona has brutally slammed Molly-Mae Hague’s baby name choice – sparking a new celebrity feud.
The former Atomic Kitten singer hit out that the former Love Island star should “change the name” of her newborn daughter to stop her from getting “stick” at school.
Mother-of-five Kerry, 42, urged new parents Molly-Mae, 23, and her boxer beau Tommy Fury to think twice about the name of their baby girl.
The influencer and Tommy, 23, welcomed their first child, a daughter, named Bambi last month.
However, Kerry has sparked a new celebrity feud by suggesting that Molly-Mae should pick a new name.
She warned that their daughter might get “some stick” from children at school when she grows up.
Writing in her column in OK! Magazine, Kerry said she wasn’t “a fan” of their Disney themed name choice.
“Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury announced the birth of their daughter last week,” Kerry penned.
“It’s lovely news, but I must admit I’m not a fan of the name.
“I think Bambi Fury sounds a bit ridiculous. It reminds me of the Disney film where the mother gets shot!
“The poor kid might get some stick in school. If they haven’t registered the name yet, maybe they should consider changing it.”
Bambi, which was released by Disney in 1942, sees a baby deer named Bambi’s journey into adulthood after its mother is cruelly shot by a human.
It comes after Molly-Mae opened up about her decision to pick the name, despite it dividing fans.
Molly had to turn off her Instagram comments after fans were divided over her baby’s adorable name.
The star first hinted about wanting to use the name for her first daughter TWO years ago.
Molly opened up about her future children’s names in a Q&A on Instagram in 2020 – and explained her decisions.
One fan asked if their kids will have unusual names, to which she replied: “Yes, a million percent. No one in my child’s class is going to have the same name as them.
“I already have names in mind that I know everyone is going to hate, and I just can’t wait for it.”
Fans had been desperate to guess the baby’s name for months and came up with a number of theories.
Last Monday, the couple revealed they welcomed their daughter into the world.
Molly revealed the baby girl was born on January 23 – waiting a week before announcing the news on Instagram.
She then said: “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.”
