People are finding out what chef Jamie Oliver named his kids and say they sound like 'word scramble'

Jamie Oliver shares five children with his wife Jools

Jamie Oliver is one of the most famous chefs on the planet, with the vast majority focused on his food.

And while we established a long time ago that Jamie can make a lot of good grub, he lives a very normal family life underneath all of that.

Jamie and his wife, Jools, are the proud parents of five children.

The 48-year-old has been with his wife since they were both 17, with Jamie proposing to Jools on Christmas Eve in 1999.

They subsequently tied the knot in June 2000 and have since become parents to Poppy Honey Daisy Boo, Petal Blossom, Buddy Bear, and the youngest, River Rocket.

Jamie's children has recently been the hot topic of conversation on Reddit, particularly on the 'todayilearned' forum.

"TIL celebrity chef Jamie Oliver named his children Poppy Honey Rosie, Daisy Boo Pamela, Petal Blossom Rainbow, Buddy Bear Maurice and River Rocket Blue Dallas," one user penned on the subreddit.

Over 1,000 Redditors have since flocked to the comments section of the post to discuss the unconventional names.

"The names are like the results of word scramble," one person claimed.

"Right, they're going to grow up and be very upset with him lol my kids all have very unique names but they're human names and they sound like names, idk what the thought process was behind this," a second wrote.

"He used a password generator to determine his children's names," a third joked.



Jamie and Jools have not ruled out having more children in the future, though it appears the latter is the one instigating that.

Speaking to the Sun earlier this year, Jamie said: "I am trying to move on to the next stage, but Jools keeps trying to drag me back. Seriously we would have loved a sixth if it happened. But we are so lucky to have the family we have and I am so happy. Exhausted, but happy!"

The couple have been married since 2000.

The family evidentially have a strong bond, which led to Jools 'struggling' when her children went back to school last September.

"First few days back at school and my head is all over the place!! I find change so hard," she penned on Instagram at the time.

"For the first few days of any big change I yearn and long for the old routine back what ever that looked like it would be something I am just used to.

"I find the holidays the absolute hardest."
