No one enjoys a conspiracy theory quite like Molly-Mae fans.
Following last night's (3 Jun) news that the influencer has welcomed her second child with fiancé Tommy Fury, many have thrown on their detective caps in a bid to suss out the infant's name and gender.
Sharing her final vlog on Tuesday, Molly-Mae gave fans an insight into the decision-making that went into their choice of moniker, admitting that many of her loved ones already struggle to pronounce it.
"Do we think I’m having a girl or I’m having a boy?" she smiled. "And what do we think we’re calling it?

"I think people are going to be a bit disappointed. Upon reflection, I don’t actually think it’s that crazy, but I know people are going to pronounce it wrong.
"Because when I’ve mentioned the name to a few people, or I’ve spelt it out, a few of my friends have said it completely wrong - absolutely not how you pronounce it. Also, I think, if you know this word, or you know the name, you would just pronounce it as it is. For me, I see it exactly as it is."
Molly-Mae continued: "It’s definitely not as different as Bambi, I would say. But I’ve only ever heard one other child be called it, and it’s not someone in the public eye. It’s just someone I’m connected to through a friend. I just think it sounds so good with the surname Fury."
Announcing her baby's birth last night, the former Love Island star shared a black-and-white photo - likely so as not to reveal the gender - alongside Tommy and their daughter Bambi, captioned, '…. and then there were 4'.
The couple haven't yet revealed the baby's gender or their chosen name - something which has triggered a wave of conspiracy theories online.
One TikTok user with the name @lysha_lou reckons Molly-Mae has been inspired by a cartoon character once again.
Zooming in closely on the blanket wrapped around the infant, she explained: "This looks like a little Tigger blanket, I feel like he or she might be called Tigger - well, it's going to be a he if she's called it Tigger."
While many of Lysha's followers reckoned she was onto something with her theory, one fan took to the comments to share a colourised image of the same blanket worn by the baby, showing it's actually nursery rhyme themed, and that 'Tigger' is actually a teddy bear.
"This is blanket. I recognise it from my friend. So it’s not tigger or a tiger," they wrote.
Others picked up on another eyebrow-raising element of the photo, believing Bambi's choice of top might have given away her sibling's name.
The three-year-old appeared to be wearing an oversized t-shirt bearing a rabbit that looked a lot like the much-loved book character, Miffy.
"I’m going for MIFFY ! .. girl xx" one user commented, while another agreed, "Miffy Fury."
A third wrote: "I think girl. Bambi is wearing a Miffy tshirt?? is that a clue? Miffy fury."
"I think Miffy (going by bambis top)," a fourth went on.
"There’s a character called Aggie in Miffy and I think it’s a girl called Aggie Fury," added another.
I guess we'll have to stay tuned to find out!
