But when they went to TikTok When she revealed the names she almost picked for the children, she received nasty comments from rude trolls.
“Names I almost gave my five babies vs. the names I actually chose,” she captioned the slideshow.
She started off by sharing how she almost named her eldest son Tommy-Lee or Riley-Dean, before ultimately choosing Romeo.
Perhaps the most controversial of the five names was for her second son, whom she named Armani-Boy.

But before she decided on that unusual name, she had also thought about calling him Boy, Dris or Miles.
Mandy had a daughter and considered naming her Mandy-Violet.
In the end she chose the name Violet-Dollie.
She had two daughters, two sets of twins, and considered naming herself Balencia, Mandy and Valentina.
But in the end she named them Valencia and Venezuela.
The comments section was filled almost immediately with people criticizing Mandy for her name choice.
“Those poor children!” cried one.
“You will never be taken seriously with such chav names! Put them on the brink of the abyss!”
“These are the worst names I have ever seen,” another insisted.
“I named mine Crushed Velvet, Marky B, Tenerife all inclusive and French Bulldog,” joked a third.
“I named my youngest son Toby Carvery,” laughed someone else.
“I looked at my little Home Bargains and sighed,” another teased meanly.
Others, however, were full of praise for the names. One wrote: “An absolutely gorgeous name for little miracles!”
“I actually like them,” added another.
“Violet Dollie’s name is so cute, your kids get to choose yours,” a third commented.
The Struggle of Choosing a Baby Name
CHLOE Morgan, a senior writer at Fabulous, has revealed her dilemma when choosing a baby name…
I’m 35 weeks pregnant and the hardest part of pregnancy these past few months (apart from the insomnia and countless nighttime wetting!) has been coming up with a baby name.
The dilemmas are endless…
My partner and I had a private ultrasound to find out the gender as early as possible. Part of the reason for this was that we thought it would make choosing a baby name a lot easier, as we would only have to come up with a list of names for one gender instead of two.
How wrong we were…
I was overjoyed to find out I was pregnant with the baby girl I had dreamed of for so long. But because I was one of the last friends to get pregnant, I have had countless conversations with excited friends over the years about their favorite baby names…something I would like to undo without ever having heard.
Every friend comes up with at least 10 possible nicknames and I can’t help but feel like more names are out of the question, even though I know no one would object. It’s just my own problem!
This debate comes up over and over again on social media: can you choose the same name that was a ‘potential’ name for your friend’s baby?
It’s a very divisive topic and opinions are always divided. And I don’t want to be THAT person.
While some argue that there are thousands of other names to choose from, others say that you should choose YOUR favorite. After all, there is no guarantee that person will ever have a child.
Then there’s the matter of finding a name you love… and then doing some research online and reading one negative comment among hundreds of positive ones that you just can’t let go of.
I made that same mistake when I fell in love with a certain name (I won’t tell because I don’t want to ruin it for others!)… and then I saw someone point out that the name constantly autocorrects on a phone to something rather rude.
So we went back to the drawing board.
Only five more weeks and it looks like our little girl will be called ‘baby girl’ for a while longer!
In an exclusive interview with Fabulous Online, Mandy stressed that she doesn’t let the rudeness of trolls get to her.
“All my babies are named after family members,” she said.
“I love different, unique names!”
Mandy added that because she comes from the “gypsy community”, the troll comments weren’t something she “hadn’t heard before”.
“I have to laugh at their comments!” she said.
Several people in the comments also pointed out that Paris and Tyson Fury have daughters named Valencia and Venezuela.
But Mandy insisted she had not consciously chosen to name her children after Paris.
“While I love all of Paris Fury’s baby names, mine are named after family members,” she said.
