Jamie and Jools Oliver are the proud parents of a baby boy. They have called him - wait for it - Buddy Bear. I know a dog called Buddy.
He also has been given the name Maurice, after Jools' dad, who died in 1997.

Of course, there was Buddy Holly, too.Is Baby not is an odd name for a boy? Maybe, I'm just getting old.
Baby is just a name used by poeple too lazy to think of a name I think....
And how could i forget Buddy Holly

But Buddy Holly's real first name was Charles. And Buddy Ebsen's was Christian.
Buddy is just a nickname, not a real name. I can't stand parents who burden their kids with 'cute' names like this, without ever considering they're going to have to grow up and live with it.

Yeah i think he's now Joe.
They are fairly churning out the sprogs..

I think it is quite a popular name in America. Jamie was over there doing his revamp of school dinners, maybe that's where he got the idea from.Reference:

Nor me, but each to their own, I suppose. The Olivers are happy and the baby is healthy and that's the main thing.
The name will suit the kid until he is about 2. The dozy pillocks.

Nowadays they are probably moving in circles where all the kids have wanky names like Tarquin Ocelot and whatnot anyway so their name will seem pretty normal. Having said that was chatting just a couple of weeks ago the one of the producers on the US programme he's just done who said he is a really lovely bloke so as long as him and the wife are happy with their choice it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things....and there are far worse names he could have landed the kid with.
Buddy bear, they have got to be kidding.
I suppose its a good name for a food chain.
