And it’s just as quirky and adorable as we hoped it would be!
The Oliver family have loved sharing glimpses into their new life with baby no. 5 on social media, so it’s no surprise that’s where Jools and Jamie Oliver decided to unveil their new little one’s name.
And it looks like the writing’s on the wall, literally, with Jools posting a photo of a gorgeous artwork in the baby’s nursery apparently revealing the new moniker.
The winning name? River Rocket Oliver!
“Dream big River,” the colourful sign said.
Jamie also took to instagram to share a snap of his sleeping bub with the caption: “it’s probably polite to formally introduce the new boy to you, his names River Rocket Oliver we think it suits him and he’s a little gift and we are all very happy…. Thanks for all your kind wishes big love jamie and gang X X X”
Fans were quick to post their messages of support to the gorgeous family on their choice.
“Such a gorgeous name, and big congrats! How exciting, your print is beautiful xx,” one wrote.
“Lovely name and wonderful choice of announcement,” another gushed.
Jamie and Jools have a history of choosing unusual names for their kids, with four other children named Poppy Honey Rose, Daisy Boo Pamela, Buddy Bear Maurice and Petal Blossom Rainbow.
In an interview with Gurgle Magazine, Jools has previously 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!”
Jools continued: “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.”
That’s it, our hearts are officially bursting with this beautiful family!
