Molly-Mae says friends can't pronounce name she's chosen for second baby
A heavily pregnant Molly-Mae Hague claims her loved ones are already struggling to pronounce the name of her second child.
In her latest YouTube video shared on Tuesday (2 June), the Love Island alum explained that the catch-up would mark her final time chatting with fans before giving birth to baby no. 2.
With that in mind, Molly-Mae took the opportunity to tease some details over both her birthing plan, the gender of her and Tommy Fury's incoming addition, and the name they've chosen.
The couple are already parents to three-year-old daughter Bambi, whose name was inspired by the appreciation Molly-Mae had for the Disney-inspired moniker as a child.

She said in a vlog following Bambi's 2023 arrival: "I know it’s unusual and unique and not going to be to everyone’s taste, so when we announced it, in my mind, it’s a beautiful name. And then two seconds later, I was like, 'Oh my God!'"
By the 27-year-old's own admission, the name she and Tommy have chosen for their second child - the gender of which hasn't yet been revealed - might be slightly harder for people to wrap their tongues around.
Discussing their decision, Molly-Mae began her latest vlog - titled 'SEE YOU SOON! | MY 27th BIRTHDAY AND LAST VLOG BEFORE BABY NO.2' - by asking subscribers to place their 'final bets' on the unborn baby's gender.
"Do we think I’m having a girl or I’m having a boy?" she smiled. "And what do we think we’re calling it?"
The mother-of-one went on to confess: "I think people are going to be a bit disappointed. Upon reflection, I don’t actually think it’s that crazy, but I know people are going to pronounce it wrong.
"Because when I’ve mentioned the name to a few people, or I’ve spelt it out, a few of my friends have said it completely wrong - absolutely not how you pronounce it. Also, I think, if you know this word, or you know the name, you would just pronounce it as it is.
"For me, I see it exactly as it is."
Providing further insight, Molly-Mae continued: "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. It’s just someone I’m connected to through a friend.
"I just think it sounds so good with the surname Fury. That’s another reason why I love it so much."
The influencer added: "It feels right, it feels good."
Elsewhere in the vlog, Molly-Mae made her way down to London to get ready to give birth.
Noting 'how privileged' she was to be in this position, she told her followers: "I'm ridiculously lucky and blessed to be able to go to the hospital that I have hopefully having both my babies at."
She went on to say: "The family's coming in and we're ready to go basically. Very, very, very, very, ready, very excited and feeling like my body is absolutely ready.
"I'm having so many sensations that I just never had with Bambi."
Before bringing the video to an end, Molly-Mae filmed a clip of her and Tommy in bed, saying: "I'm not going to sleep because I feel all over. I feel really nervous. Over and out. See you soon."
