the new parents announced the moniker they've all but settled on for the tot.

Jay convinced Poppy to reveal the name, although the mum said: "No, we're not 100%!"

"Oh, babe, come on, it pretty much is, innit? I like it," Jay insisted.

After a three-second countdown, they said that the name was "Vinnie J".

Poppy added that she wanted Vinnie while Jay wanted to name his son after himself.

So they eventually settled on a double-barrelled name.

"Little VJ!" Jay laughed.

Poppy then giggled, and said: "I feel like he'll be a rapper or something when he's older.

Are Unique Baby Names Worth The Hassle?

YOU may think having a unique name helps you to stand out, but is it all it's cracked up to be?

Fabulous' Deputy Editor Josie Griffiths reveals the turmoil she faced with her own name while growing up.

When I was a child, all I wanted was one of those personalised keyrings with my name on it.

But no joy, the closest I could find was Rosie, Joseph (not great for a little girl) and Joanne.

Josie is short for Josephine, which is a French name, and I managed to reach my 20s without ever meeting anyone who shared it.

When I try to introduce myself to people, I get all sorts of random things - like Tracey and Stacey - which can be pretty annoying.

Although I have come into contact with a couple of Josies over the last year - there seems to be a few of us around my age - it’s still a much rarer name than most of my friends have.

On the whole I don’t mind it, at least it’s not rude or crazily spelt.

And it means I can get away with ‘doing a Cheryl’ and just referring to myself as Josie.

I’m getting married this year and some friends are shocked that I’m changing my surname, as it’s not seen as very cool or feminist to do so these days, but I explain to them that I’m not that attached to Griffiths as I’d always just say ‘hi it’s Josie’ when ringing a mate up.

I think it’s nice to be unique and I’ll definitely try and replicate this when naming my own kids.

It’s the rude names you’ve got to watch out for, so after nine years as a lifestyle journalist I’ll definitely be avoiding those.

"Glad I’m not the only one who thought that!" someone else said.

"Exactly what I thought," another commented.

But others were more on board with the moniker.

"My nephew is called Vinnie, it’s a lovely name," one wrote.

"Lovely name!" another said.

"Ahhh I have a Vinnie James - great choice!" a third gushed.

As someone else wrote: "Absolutely love the name!"

"Love it. My boy is called Vinnie Ray. Your family is so wholesome," another commented.

"Yesss!!!!!! Vinnieeee," someone else said.

Vinnie is usually used as a nickname for Vincent, which comes from the Latin verb "Vincere", meaning "to conquer".

Vincent is also derived from Latin name "Vincentius", which again translates as "conqueror" or "winner".

In the YouTube video, Poppy insisted she wasn't 100% sold on the name, and added there shouldn't be any rush to settle on a baby's moniker - as they will have it for life.

Poppy and Jay's daughters are called Rosa and Frankie.
