Can we talk about the names of Jamie Oliver’s children?

You only have to blink and Jamie Oliver has published yet another cookbook. What else does he like producing? Children! And just as with his books, he gets creative with their names.

To be fair, he can cook. What’s more, he’s charming, a force for good in the world and, according to many, incredibly attractive too. The latter does not apply to our editor-in-chief Sharon, by the way (slightly apologetically: “I’m simply not attracted to men who look like they’ve just lost their baby teeth.”)

Poppy Honey

Fortunately, his wife Juliette Norton is crazy about him—and has her hands full. No fewer than five Horton/Oliver children are already walking the earth and rumor has it that they’re also hoping for a sixth. Each of their children’s names sounds like a dish, some more delicious than others:

  • Poppy Honey Rosie
  • River Rocket Blue Dallas
  • Buddy Bear Maurice
  • Petal Blossom Rainbow
  • Daisy Boo Pamela

Inspiration

In the unlikely event that they can’t think of a baby name for their possible sixth offspring (little inside joke!), here are some options:

  • Bell Pepper Precious
  • Sarah Sriracha Mave
  • Oat Mila
  • Peanut Butter Jelly
  • Favor Pavlova Flavi
