Molly-Mae Hague is weeks away from becoming a mum for the first time, and she’s been keeping fans updated on her journey all the way through.
The PrettyLittleThing creative director, 23, found fame on the 2019 series of Love Island where she met boyfriend and father of her unborn child, boxer Tommy Fury, also 23.
In September, after three years together, the couple announced they were expecting their first child with a joyous announcement on Instagram.
Since then, Molly-Mae and Tommy confirmed they are having a girl, with Molly going on to tease baby names and due dates.
Having taken gorgeous maternity photoshoots, and gone on ‘babymoons’ before the arrival of their daughter, as well as shared the more worrying moments such as struggling to feel the baby move, Molly has let her fans in to the journey quite a bit.
There’s one thing fans are still pretty much in the dark about though – what will Molly-Mae and Tommy name their daughter?
What has Molly-Mae said about her future baby names?

In a YouTube Q&A with fans last month, Molly confirmed she and Tommy have their baby girl’s name picked out, teasing: ‘I’ve had the name picked out since I was basically a baby girl myself.’
She explained it has ‘always been my dream baby girl name, and luckily when I met Tommy and I told him the name…he absolutely loved it too.’
Molly didn’t reveal the name but described it as ‘really, really unusual and different.’
‘I do not know anybody else with the name. I have not really seen any other girls with the name before, it’s like that different.’

Molly added that the public will probably ‘either love it or hate it,’ admitting: ‘It is super unusual, super different. Nobody will guess it because it’s not even really a name.’
She clarified that it was ‘not made up, it’s totally not made up, but I can’t explain it, it’s just not a name that’s ever really been used before.’
Molly really has been settled on this ‘unusual’ name long before she fell pregnant, as two years earlier in an Instagram Q&A she said that, should she ever have a child, ‘no one in my child’s class is going to have the same name as them.’
‘I already have names in mind that I know everyone is going to hate, and I just can’t wait for it,’ she added.
What might Molly-Mae call her baby?

There are a few theories going around about the ‘unusual’ name Molly-Mae plans to give her unborn child, some a big madder than others.
A popular theory has emerged among fans who believe they’ve cracked a secret code and have figured out the name thanks to hints in Molly’s Instagram.
Eagle-eyed fans noted the star often uses a cloud emoji in her posts, particularly ones about her pregnancy – and have theorised she could be going for the name Cloud or even Sky.

Another potential baby name, according to fans, is… Mayo.
No, really.
This theory dates back to Molly and Tommy’s time on Love Island in 2019, where they first met and fell in love.
Viewers will remember the couples were tasked with caring for a baby doll as though it were a real child, with Molly telling Tommy she had the perfect name for their pretend baby.
‘I do quite like the name Mayo, short for mayonnaise,’ she said in the clip.
It certainly would be unusual… and it’s pretty much guaranteed there wouldn’t be another Mayo in her daughter’s class… you never know.
When is Molly-Mae due?

The Love Island stars haven’t revealed the exact date their new arrival is due, however it’s confirmed to be early in the new year.
Molly was more than five months pregnant when she announced the news to fans and followers, meaning she’s likely due in January, if not this month.
The couple are currently on a romantic break away, making the most of their time together before they become a family of three.

Sharing a photo from a luxury country house hotel in Bath, Molly wrote it was their ‘very last staycation’ before the arrival of their daughter.
The romantic getaway will surely put Tommy back in Molly-Mae’s good books after she recently said he tends to ‘forget’ she is even pregnant.
