Jools Oliver: parents should be more imaginative with kids' names

 

 

 

 

 

The children of Jamie Oliver and his wife Jools have names you’re not likely to forget:

Poppy Honey

Daisy Boo

Petal Blossom Rainbow

Buddy Bear.

This week, Jools urged parents to be similarly creative when naming their own children.

In an interview in a UK parenting mag called Gurgle, she said:

‘They all have more than one name because I couldn’t decide.
‘I’m not sure where Petal Rainbow came from – apparently it’s a My Little Pony! I wanted to call her Rainbow but Jamie told me to calm down.
‘And I hate people’s opinions on names. Whatever you call your baby is your decision.’
‘With Buddy it was quite fun choosing a boy’s name, as I hadn’t done it before.
Asked if she would like more children she replied: ‘I really would, but I just don’t know. I’m so busy with four!’

Jools documents her life and her family beautifully on Instagram. Take a look.

What are your kids names? What are the most unusual kids’ names you’ve heard?

My daughters name is going to be Adelaide and nearly everyone comments on how unusual it is! Yes it's an old name thats not used a lot these days but I never thought it was "unusual". Some people react like Ive said coca cola or something.

Hi love Jamie and Jools....but please take a minute to realize how ridiculed your kids are going to be when they go to school, it certainly proves that money and fame doesn't buy common-sense!
