Molly-Mae Hague has finally revealed the unique name she and Tommy Fury have called their first-born child.
The former Love Island star, 23, welcomed her baby girl with Tommy Fury, also 23, on January 23, but she didn't drop the highly- anticipated birth announcement until a week later.
The new mum has been lapping up the quality time with her new bundle of joy, and had decided to keep her little one's name under wraps for some time - until now.
Revealing the name of her daughter, Molly-Mae confessed that she and Tommy had called their baby girl Bambi.
Molly-Mae shared a photo of her newborn daughter laying in a see-through cot in her nursery, which had a neon sign with her name on. The newborn is also laying nearby a Bambi plush toy from the Disney movie, perhaps a nod to where Molly-Mae got the inspiration from.

Revealing her daughter's name to fans by posting the photo, she added in the caption: "Bambi" followed by a white heart emoji.
Bambi is a name of Italian origin and is thought to derive from the word 'bambino', which means 'child'.
The new mum was quickly flooded with comments from fans who revealed they loved the name - despite her previously predicting people wouldn't.

The PrettyLittleThing creative director had previously confessed that people will either love or hate the name she had picked out for her first-born child, further admitting that she had the name saved since she was a little girl herself.
Molly-Mae always knew that she would call her daughter Bambi, despite the fact she knew a huge majority of her fanbase wouldn't be on board with it.
She previously 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.
