Molly-Mae Hague turns off Instagram comments as fans are divided over baby’s adorable name
MOLLY-MAE Hague revealed her newborn daughter's name tonight and it's left fans divided.
The Love Island favourite and boxer partner Tommy Fury have called their little girl Bambi.
The unusual name has polarised their fan base with some loving the Disney-inspired moniker and others less sure.
The divisive reaction has prompted Molly-Mae to remove comments from her Instagram announcement.
One fan said: "No way has Molly-Mae called her baby Bambi!"
Another posted: "I love Molly-Mae but… calling your daughter BAMBI??!";
A third said: "This is how you know too many people fan girl over Molly-Mae because Bambi is not a good name for a human."
"Another wrote: "As if Molly-Mae has actually named her baby Bambi?? Sorry but what??"
However, many did celebrate the name too.
One gushed: "Molly-Mae naming her baby Bambi is so beautiful."

Paris Fury wrote: "Her name is just as cute as her. Loved seeing yous today she is absolutely perfect x."
Love Island's Laura Anderson wrote: "Yayyy love it baby B."
While a fan said: "Such a cute name! Congratulations to you both!"
Another enthused: "Love Molly-Mae’s baby name."
Thinking ahead to her nickname, another typed: "Ok well I think it’s pretty cute of Molly Mae to name their baby Bambi, she’ll probably get Bam or Bam Bam for short."
Bambi is a 1942 Disney classic about a fawn that witnesses the brutal shooting of his mother by a hunter.
The young deer learns vital life lessons through adolescence and goes on to become prince of the forest, following in the footsteps of his father.
Molly-Mae shared a picture from the tot's nursery that showed her name up in neon lights.
Fans had been desperate to guess the baby’s name for months and came up with a number of theories.
There had been intense speculation Molly's first child had been given the name Nephele.
Molly had previously teased last year that her daughter would have a unique moniker, making Nephele a perfect choice.
She revealed: "It's a really, really unusual and a different name."
Fans have noticed an Instagram account with the handle @nephelefury has been set up leading to much speculation that the new parents are behind it.
The theory came from the word Nephele referring to a woman who was formed from the clouds in Greek mythology and was heavily touted as a reason behind Molly's constant use of the cloud emoji.
Fans also pointed out the likeness to her famous teddy, Ellie Belly.
The Love Island favourite confirmed her daughter's arrival when she posted a sweet snap, which showed her cuddling her boyfriend Tommy Fury and their daughter in hospital, on Instagram.
Alongside it she simply wrote her little girl's birth date and later shared: "I can't believe we get to keep you forever.
"Becoming your mum has been the best thing to ever happen to me. It doesn't seem possible but my love for you grows with each passing moment.
"There is no feeling like holding you in my arms little one, my heart literally explodes.
"Thank you for entering this world safely for us and blessing us with the gift of being your parents.
