Paris Fury reveals one issue with her sons having the same name after husband Tyson explained why they do
Paris Fury has revealed one major issue with all four of her sons sharing the same name.
The 36-year-old reality TV star shares seven children with her husband, British boxer Tyson, 37, four boys and three girls.
While the girls' names, Venezuela, 16, Valencia, eight, and Athena, clearly all have a key theme, which is that they're named after places, the boys' link is a little more obvious.
They all share the first name Prince - so, the family includes Prince John James, 15, Prince Tyson II, nine, Prince Adonis Amaziah, seven, and Prince Rico Paris, two.

As you can imagine, this creates quite a few awkward scenarios for parents, Paris and Tyson.
Speaking on Jamie Laing's Great Company podcast on Wednesday (22 April), the mother-of-seven delved into the choice and some of the hindrances they have to deal with.
One of which is having to remember all of their dates of birth and having to speak to doctors.
Paris explained: "It's the worst when you go to the doctors, and they say, 'What's their date of birth?' and you look like the world's worst parent. It's not cause I don't love them, it's cause there's so many, give me a minute."
She added, "But the boys do all have the same first name. The boys are all called Prince. It's really confusing when you speak to a doctor."
Paris later revealed another instance that can cause bewilderment, and that's trying to book a holiday.
She later added, "It's very confusing. When you book a holiday, they actually think you're telling lies cause you're like 'yeah, Prince Fury, Prince Fury, Prince Fury, Prince Fury.'"
Thankfully, their sons have different middle names, and some go by nicknames, which helps their loved ones tell them apart, as they generally go by these rather than the standard first name.
As for why the celebrity couple gave their sons the same name, Tyson and Paris both told different sides of a story.
When talking about the topic previously, Tyson simply said that the choice is connected to his boxing nickname, 'The Gypsy King,' as 'they're princes until they earn their rightful name'.
But during her podcast appearance, Paris shared more details, explaining: "Because I was really high when I was giving birth to Prince, and he was gonna be called John James all along. Very traditional, very nice."
However, when she gave birth to her first little boy in 2011, she looked at him and at the last minute decided that he actually 'didn't look like a John James'.
Paris continued: "So, we were thinking of different names and then Prince came up and I was like, 'Prince, he has to be a prince, he's my prince'.
"And then three days later, I was like, 'Oh, I named that baby Prince'. So that's how he got Prince."
She added: "And then when we had another boy, we found out we were having little Tyson, he said, 'Well, you can't call one a prince without the other. They've all got to be Prince'.
"I said, 'That's crazy, you can't do that,' and he went, 'No, we'll just do it, and like, it's okay, it won't matter.'. I thought, as long as we don't tell anyone.
"And then that didn't work either, so yeah, we ended up with four Princes."
