Jamie Oliver Named His Newborn Baby After A Type Of Boat

Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver makes award-winning decisions in the kitchen, but his baby-naming skills might be a little questionable, to say the least.

Oliver has five children, all with eccentric names, but he just revealed on Instagram that his latest newborn was named River Rocket Oliver.

Little River doesn’t have to battle life alone, though, as his brothers and sisters are named Poppy Honey, Daisy Boo, Petal Blossom and Buddy Bear. I truly wish I was making this shit up.

It’s almost like he’s competing with Kanye West’s baby North, Jay-Z’s Blue Ivy, and David Duchovny’s Kyd.

If anything, Oliver’s kids are all prepped with stage names and can have their own cooking shows, like, River Rocket’s Eats, or Baking with Buddy Bear.
