Tyson Fury never has to spend time pondering over the perfect baby name, as all four of his sons share the same moniker.

The British boxer, 37, shares seven children with his wife Paris - four boys and three girls, all of whom feature in their Netflix reality TV show, At Home With The Furys.

To the delight of fans, season two dropped on Sunday (12 April) with a fresh batch of episodes following the sportsman's latest retirement and his family life outside of boxing.

The celebrity couple's daughters are Venezuela, 16, who got engaged on her 16th birthday last year, Valencia, eight, and Athena, four.

As mentioned, they are also parents to four sons who all share the name Prince - Prince John James, 15, Prince Tyson II, nine, Prince Adonis Amaziah, seven, and Prince Rico Paris, two.

Understandably, this has left fans scratching their heads over how Paris and Tyson refer to them all, as they surely can't be shouting 'Prince' and hoping the right one responds.

And the family actually have a clever way of going about it, by using their unique middle names and specific nicknames.

As per Cosmopolitan, their eldest son Prince John James simply goes by the name of 'Prince', while his younger brother Prince Tyson is known as 'Tutty'.

Paris explained, as reported by OK! Magazine, that Tyson got the nickname Tutty because when he was little, 'it seemed so crazy to keep calling this tiny little baby Tyson, obviously, looking at his dad'.

She explained: "So we somehow came to the name of Tutty and it just seemed to stick."

Prince Adonis goes by his middle name 'Adonis,' as does their youngest Prince Rico who is known by his family and friends as 'Rico'.

Tyson has also previously explained his reasoning behind calling all four of sons Prince, and it's actually rather symbolic and is connected to his boxing nickname, The Gypsy King.

"[It is because] I'm a king, and they're princes until they earn their rightful name," he explained in the reality TV show.

As for how and when exactly the boys will 'earn' their name, we have no idea.

Prince John James, was almost called Patrick or Jesus, however, this was swiftly shut down by Paris.

Tyson said: "Jesus Fury. I like that name. A lot of Mexicans are called Jesus," to which his wife affirmed: "That got a quick no from me."

You might have also noticed that the three girls also share a similarity in their monikers - that they're all named after cities or countries.

Tyson previously told The Guardian in 2013 that the name for his eldest child Venezuela came to him in a dream.

He explained: "One night, while I was sleeping. I thought of Venezuela."

And when asked if he would like to visit the country, he responded with: "Nah. What could I get in South America that I couldn't get here?"
