Molly-Mae Hague's divides fans after revealing newborn son's name Midas - as they marvel over her post-baby look

Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury finally revealed the name of their newborn son on Saturday night after she welcomed their little boy earlier this month.

But their chosen name - Midas - has divided fans as they reacted to the announcement when boxer Tommy proudly sported the newborn's moniker on his shorts for his clash with Eddie Hall in Manchester.

The name Midas links to Greek mythology and the king of Phrygia, who was granted a wish that everything he touched turned to gold.

However, the story is actually a cautionary tale as Midas soon learned the downside to his gift when he turned his food, drink, and even his daughter to gold.

The phrase 'the Midas touch' is used to describe someone who has received great success, but it also has connotations of greed and foolishness.

Some fans commented that Molly-Mae and Tommy had 'missed the point' of the name, due to its connections to the foolish king.

Sharing their opinion on X, one person said: 'Midas. It's funny how they've missed the entire point of the story. It's one of the oldest and most famous cautionary tales.

'But they heard about someone being able to turn things into gold and thought it sounded great.'

Others said: 'Midas Fury... I just got flashbacks to higher English'; 'Saw Molly Mae calling her son Midas is ridiculous considering it relates to wealth/greed'.

Another mused: 'Saw that Molly Mae named her baby Midas and was like "oh yeah that makes sense, the Midas touch, turns everything to gold'; 'And then I saw comment from people in the UK saying they've never heard of the Midas touch before? Y'all the literacy problem is bigger than I thought'.

Some fans seemed unimpressed by the choice, saying: 'Surely Molly Mae and Tommy haven't named their baby Midas? Midas Fury? Bambi and Midas? Jesus Wept'; 'So Molly Mae and Tommy Fury named their baby after an insurance company?';

Others suggested Thumper would have been more fitting due to the Disney connection, musing: 'Midas Fury, very interesting not the worst they could've called him Thumper'; 'I'm sorry but Midas Fury? Would've preferred Thumper Fury'.

However, others shared their love of the name, revealing that they 'love' the couple's choice and branding it 'gorgeous'.

The couple welcomed their second child together earlier this month, after Molly-Mae gave birth in a Portland maternity suite, which offers birthing packages costing up to £30,000.

Less than two weeks after giving birth, Molly-Mae proudly watched on as he went head-to-head with Eddie, a former World's Strongest Man title holder.

Molly-Mae's fans gushed over her appearance just two weeks after giving birth, as she appeared at the fight in a form-fitting white dress. 

Fans said she looked 'amazing' and described her as a 'goddess' in the comments section of one clip. 

On Friday, Molly-Mae's interior designer shared a glimpse at her new baby boy's space-themed nursery, including a huge moon themed light which had been hung on the ceiling, offering the first hint at the name she and Tommy had chosen.

In a previous vlog Molly explained that the name is 'hard to pronounce' and whilst she admitted that it probably wasn't as out there as Bambi she said she only knows one other child who has the name. 

Since Bambi's arrival, Tommy frequently pays tribute to his daughter through his boxing garb - including his shorts and zip-up, and Molly-Mae herself had hinted at putting their son's name on them.

Molly said last month: 'I've been designing Tommy's shorts for his fight and I'm thinking about potentially putting I don't know if we're going like I don't cuz I don't know what the timeline's going to be...

'I'm thinking do I put the name of baby number two on his fight shorts?...

'Because he always has Bambi's name on his fight shorts, and I don't want to like leave the second baby off.

'But also maybe that's how we announce the name is on his fight shorts. That would actually be quite cool. Fight on the 13th [of June] with Eddie Hall. So we've got a lot to look forward to guys. There's a lot coming up in the next few weeks.'

Fans previously shared their name predictions following Molly's birth announcement, with guesses including Miffy, Bunny, Dusk, Dream and Cloud.

One of many conspiracies came from the fact that Bambi was wearing a T-shirt adorned with an image of fictional rabbit Miffy, the character from the 1955 series of picture books drawn and written by Dutch artist Dick Bruna.

Admitting the birth of her son had been 'incredible,' Molly-Mae recently thanked her little one for 'healing her newborn fears' as she embraced being in the baby bubble.

The Love Island star has been incredibly open with her followers about how she struggled with the newborn stage with her first born Bambi. 

Back in 2025, she said she would have been 'terrified' to see a positive pregnancy test, as she admitted: 'I found the newborn stage so unbelievably difficult and daunting and looking back I can’t really say that there was any part of it that I enjoyed.'

However it seems the second time around Molly's experience is already completely 'indescribably' different. 

Taking to Instagram with a snap of her newborn son, she penned: 'Thank you for healing so many of my newborn fears little one.

'The peace and happiness I feel this time around is something I wished for but didn't know would come.'

She added: 'The difference compared to this stage with Bambi is indescribable.'

Elsewhere, Molly-Mae revealed that she and Tommy had found out the gender of their child at the start of her pregnancy.

The couple and daughter Bambi looked thrilled as Tommy popped a balloon which exploded with blue confetti, she penned: 'Just the luckiest.'

'Nearly 9 months on from finding out we'd been blessed with a boy... and I still can't believe it', she added.

Over the weekend, the couple, who met on Love Island, shared a video of Tommy bringing Bambi to the hospital, before the toddler sweetly got to hold him.

As Molly-Mae asked: 'Do you like him?' Bambi sweetly said 'yes.' She captioned the clip: 'There’s your little brother.'

It comes after Tommy was said to be 'devastated' after being forced to leave his family and return to training camp a day after she gave birth.

The boxer flew back to Manchester via private jet on Thursday less than 24 hours after Molly had given birth to their second child.
