Kerry Katona has slammed Molly-Mae Hague and her boyfriend Tommy Fury for naming their newborn daughter Bambi.
The former singer, 42, claimed the decision was ‘ridiculous’ and that the former Love Island stars, both 23, should consider changing their mind.
She went on to vent her worries that the ‘poor kid’ will get bullied at school due to the unusual title.
The ex Celebrity Big Brother housemate wrote in her OK! column: 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!
‘They should change it!’ Kerry Katona has slammed Molly-Mae Hague and her boyfriend Tommy Fury for naming their newborn daughter Bambi
‘The poor kid might get some stick in school. If they haven’t registered the name yet, maybe they should consider changing it.’
Earlier this week, Molly-Mae shared a snap of her baby girl’s name in illuminated letters overlooking her little girl in her cot, having previously admitted that some fans would ‘hate’ it.
She captioned the post: ‘Bambi’ along with a heart emoji.
The name Bambi is of Italian origin and is thought to derive from the word ‘bambino’, which means ‘child’.
Molly-Mae had previously admitted she always knew what she was going to call her daughter, adding that she knew some of her fans wouldn’t like it.
In a previous YouTube Q&A she said: ‘It’s not made up, it’s totally not made up, I can’t explain it. It’s just not a name that’s ever been used before. It’s very very different and rare and you’re either going to love it or hate it.
‘I’ve had the name picked out since I was a baby girl myself. It’s always been a dream baby girl name and luckily when I met Tommy and I told him the name I’ve always dreamt of using, he absolutely loved it too.
‘It’s a really really unusual and a different name, I do not know anybody else with the name. I’ve not seen any other girls with the name before, it’s that different.’

It comes after the influencer revealed that she managed to have a natural birth as she had hoped for, as opposed to a caesarean section.
Dubbing the birth ‘the biggest and best achievement of my whole entire life,’ the star went on to detail that she ‘couldn’t wait’ to share more details with fans.
Molly-Mae previously shared to fans that she was hoping to have a natural birth and would ‘try my hardest to push baby girl out’.
And confirming that this was possible with an update on Saturday, the influencer shared a picture of some poloroid snaps from the delivery room.

She penned: ‘The start of labour❤️ A lot of you have asked if I was able to have a natural birth as Tommy was wearing scrubs in our first pic… yes I was able to have a natural delivery
‘I can’t wait to tell you all about it soon. Biggest and best achievement of my whole entire life.’
Representatives for Molly-Mae told MailOnline earlier this week: ‘Molly and Tommy feel so blessed to have welcomed a healthy baby girl in to their family on the 23rd of January 2023.
‘They are enjoying every moment. Molly and baby are both doing well.’

Earlier in the day Ulrika Jonsson defended Molly-Mae Hague after she splashed out £8K for newborn daughter Bambi’s cot and came under fire for the tot’s name.
The TV presenter, 55, slammed people who criticised the influencer for their ‘envy’ and said she is entitled to spend her money as she pleases.
Molly-Mae, who welcomed her first child with partner Tommy Fury last month, left fans gob-smacked when she announced the name of her newborn with a photo of the luxurious crib.
Ulrika said: ‘She is getting trolled for calling the newborn Bambi – but I think, why not? It’s sweet enough.
‘Of course, much of the criticism is based on envy. Molly-Mae is entitled to do whatever she wants with her money.’
She continued in her column for The Sun: ‘Mere mortals can only dream of a nursery like little Bambi’s, who will be utterly oblivious to the overindulgence surrounding her.’
Ulrika went on to explain that it reminded her of when she welcomed her first child and felt that everything had to be perfect.
