The gorgeous sign Jools used to make the announcement.

“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.

There are some fans who are speculating that the beloved full name is actually “Dream Big River”, but OK! UK confirmed the baby’s full name is River Rocket Oliver.

Jamie shared this precious snap of mum and baby earlier this week.

It’s not the first unusual name for the Oliver clan.

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!”

Petal has apparently been a doting big sister. “There for every nappy change!” Jools wrote beside this pic.

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.”

We adore the whimsical names all the Oliver kids have!
