Yahoo News Jamie And Jools Oliver Reveal Unusual Name Of Their Newborn Son
After keeping fans guessing for two weeks, Jamie and Jools Oliver have finally revealed the name of their newborn baby boy.
The couple – who already have three daughters and a son – welcomed their fifth child earlier this month, but remained tight-lipped on the tot’s moniker.

However, Jools took to Instagram on Monday (Aug 22) to share a photo with her 369,000 followers, showcasing a piece of nursery artwork that read: “Dream Big River”, including a rocket and blue love heart emoji in the caption.
As a further clue Jamie’s sister Anne-Marie Hunt commented on the photo: “It’s all about the River today!” while adding a wink, rocket and monkey emoji into the mystery mix.
The baby’s full name – presumably River Rocket Oliver – received praise from fans, who have been eagerly awaiting the big reveal, with one writing: “Lovely name @joolsoliver congratulations.”
As another added: “Beautiful name, our daughter was to be River, had she been a boy xx,” and one other remarked: “So beautiful, congratulations to you all xo.”

The gender neutral name, according to Nameberry, “shares the tranquil feeling of all the water names”, and has been “on the rise for both sexes the past few years.”
‘River Rocket’ joins siblings Poppy Honey Rosie, 14, Daisy Boo Pamela, 12, Petal Blossom Rainbow, six, and five-year-old brother Buddy Bear Maurice.
Jools previously insisted that she prefers to choose two names each for her children, and encouraged other parents to have fun when it comes to naming their babies.

She told Gurgle: “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.
"With Buddy it was quite fun choosing a boy’s name, as I hadn’t done it before. And I hate people’s opinions on names. Whatever you call your baby is your decision.”
Hear, hear! We wish the Oliver brood all the very best.
