Dylan Jorge is a girl, unfortunately.

I like names that are different/unique but many of these are cartoonish.

Jamie and Jools Oliver:

---

Poppy Honey Rosie (2002) - I’m okay with Poppy but when you add Honey, yuck! Don’t like the name Rosie at all.
Daisy Boo Pamela (2003) - Daisy is fine but adding Boo makes it sound like something you’d name a little dog. I’ve never liked the name Pamela.
Petal Blossom Rainbow (2009) - the most ridiculous of all. Can’t take this name seriously at all.
Buddy Bear Maurice (2010) - I like the name Bear but add Buddy to it and it turns in to something you’ve named a stuffed animal. Don’t like Maurice either.
River Rocket Blue Dallas (2016) - I like the names River and Blue. Dallas I prefer for a girl. Rocket sounds like a dog’s name.

Katie Price:
Harvey Daniel (2002 - father Dwight Yorke) - this name is fine. Harvey is cute for a little boy. I’ve always liked the name Daniel.
Junior Savva (2005 - father Peter Andre) - Do not like the name Junior. I’ve always found it strange as an actual name and not a nn. Not sure what Savva is. Is it a surname?

Jamie Oliver's children have incredibly childish sounding names. Poppy is sweet, as is Rosie, and Honey is so surprising that some may actually be able to pull it of. But all of them together just sound sticky and saccharine, like the name of one f Winnie the Pooh's friends.

The children of Katie Price have names, that, to me, sounds very American, save Harvey, which could be British too, and Bunny, which sounds like an lively, aristocratic name that people who have stables on their family estates (or, indeed, have family estates) can carry without seeming utterly ridiculous. The whole bunch is very eclectic, maybe because of the three different fathers.

Kerry Katona's kids' names sound very unimaginative and bland. Molly Marie is especially problematic, since not only do they rhyme, but they're also both Mary variants.

I definitely agree with Anneza on the lack of taste uniting these parents. But the thing that gets me with some of these names is that while I personally don't like the name Dylan, I can imagine that it's a name someone might like and use. But Princess? It saddens me to see how popular Buddy and Junior are in the UK. I'm all for naming your kids whatever you like so I have to respect these choices but I wish I could go inside these parents' minds to understand how they think these are usable names that their kids won't want to change the second they turn eighteen. Also Jamie is just unnecessarily extra with the middle names.

I've never heard of Katie Price or Kerry Katona, and I don't know what makes them celebs. I have always admired Jamie Oliver for his cheery, unpretentious approach to cooking and his valiant attempts to get people eating more healthily. But the three of them are united in their jaw-dropping lack of taste and consideration when picking names for helpless babies.

The very few names they've used that I like are:
Daisy, Pamela, Maurice, Daniel, Esther and Elizabeth.
