The children of Jamie Oliver and his wife Jools have names you’re not likely to forget:

Poppy Honey

Daisy Boo

Petal Blossom Rainbow

Buddy Bear.

This week, Jools urged parents to be similarly creative when naming their own children.

In an interview in a UK parenting mag called Gurgle, she said:

They all have more than one name because I couldn’t decide.
‘I’m not sure where Petal Rainbow came from – apparently it’s a My Little Pony! I wanted to call her Rainbow but Jamie told me to calm down.
‘And I hate people’s opinions on names. Whatever you call your baby is your decision.’
‘With Buddy it was quite fun choosing a boy’s name, as I hadn’t done it before.
Asked if she would like more children she replied: ‘I really would, but I just don’t know. I’m so busy with four!’

Jools documents her life and her family beautifully on Instagram. Take a look.

What are your kids names? What are the most unusual kids’ names you’ve heard?
