RUMBLE Honey, Whimsy Lou and Slim Easy - these may sound like stage names for artists or perhaps some bizarre food dishes.
But these are, in fact, unusual monikers one mum-of-three, Nara Smith, has given to her tots.

The South African-German model, 23, went viral last year when when she announced the birth of her third tot - Whimsy Lou Smith - whom she shares with hubby Lucky Blue.
At the time, the young influencer - who's also shared how to make cereal from scratch - came under fire over the ''unhinged'' monikers.
Earlier this summer, the 23-year-old ''trad wife'' announced she and her partner were pregnant with the couple's fourth kid.
Naturally, that also means starting to come up with a list of potential names for the little one.
But unfortunately for the duo - who've been slammed for setting ''unrealistic'' expectations for parents - it looks like they'll have to keep thinking.
Nara, who's currently six months pregnant, took to TikTok to share the names she ''loves'', including Moonbeam Ice Cream which she thought was ''so beautiful''.
Starting off with potential picks if it turned out to be a boy, the influencer listed Moss, Goody, Sundae, Champ and Silk.
''I also really like the name Dare for a boy,'' she said in the now-viral video, which has been viewed more than 10million times in less than 24 hours.
Meanwhile, if it's a girl joining their brood, Nara was quite fond of the names Twinkle, Velvet, Button, Willow and Mirror.
''Feels like a more classic name,'' Nara reckoned, adding she also loved the name Berry.

''All of these can go either as a first or a second name - but it's getting harder to name children for me.''
Despite being obsessed with the monikers, Nara added that she wouldn't be using these picks for their next child - which means fans will have to keep waiting for an update.
Are Unique Baby Names Worth The Hassle?
YOU may think having a unique name helps you to stand out, but is it all it's cracked up to be?
Fabulous' Deputy Editor Josie Griffiths reveals the turmoil she faced with her own name while growing up.
When I was a child, all I wanted was one of those personalised keyrings with my name on it.
But no joy, the closest I could find was Rosie, Joseph (not great for a little girl) and Joanne.
Josie is short for Josephine, which is a French name, and I managed to reach my 20s without ever meeting anyone who shared it.
When I try to introduce myself to people, I get all sorts of random things - like Tracey and Stacey - which can be pretty annoying.
Although I have come into contact with a couple of Josies over the last year - there seems to be a few of us around my age - it's still a much rarer name than most of my friends have.
On the whole I don't mind it, at least it's not rude or crazily spelt.
And it means I can get away with 'doing a Cheryl' and just referring to myself as Josie.
I'm getting married this year and some friends are shocked that I'm changing my surname, as it's not seen as very cool or feminist to do so these days, but I explain to them that I'm not that attached to Griffiths as I'd always just say 'hi it's Josie' when ringing a mate up.
I think it's nice to be unique and I'll definitely try and replicate this when naming my own kids.
It's the rude names you've got to watch out for, so after nine years as a lifestyle journalist I'll definitely be avoiding those.
'You gave your kids usernames'
Sadly for the couple, the names weren't a major hit amongst social media users, a whopping 19k of whom flooded to comments to slam the two.
One wondered: ''are you naming an elf on the shelf or a child?''
Another joked: '''My boy slim easy' like he's a rapper.''
''you gave your kids usernames,'' someone else thought.
''At this point, why don't you call a strawberry shortcake?'' a fourth jokingly advised.
''Do you realize they will be adults some day,'' a concerned viewer reminded.

Chart topper Tyla confesses huge success of hit record Water left her feeling ‘trapped' as she releases hot new track
Read on to learn more of Sir Mick Jagger's 82nd birthday WATER TORTURE Chart topper Tyla confesses huge success of hit record Water left her feeling 'trapped' as she releases hot new track Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BECOMING an overnight sensation has proved to be a blessing and a curse for Tyla. The South African singer felt 'trapped' after her single Water reached No4 in the UK charts and was a global hit in 2023. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up While her self-titled debut album was a top 20 hit the following year. At an exclusive Q&A in London last week, she explained: 'For a while, especially last year, I felt so trapped. 'Like, 'Oh my word, I blew up and I just have to have everything right and everything has to be perfect now because the world is looking.' 'It was kind of stressful for me.' Read More on MUSIC OPENING UP Noughties pop star opens up about 'damaging experience' in band But on Friday she released her brilliantly fun and upbeat four-track EP WWP — which stands for We Wanna Party — and it has finally given her the chance to 'experiment.' She said: 'I wasn't planning on doing this. I was just making music at the beginning of the year. It was mainly for an album. 'But as I got closer to summer, I was like, 'Hey the songs I was making were too good . . . where are the summer songs? 'We need some summer songs right now' and I am just too excited to hold on to them. 'I really just want people to hear it and party to it, and see how I've grown through the years and just see who I am now.' And it seems like she's more confident than ever, which isn't something she will apologise for. African singer Tyla's full-length Balmain gown, covered in sand, certainly caused problems at the 2024 Met Gala Tyla — who will perform at All Points East festival in London's Victoria Park next month — said: 'I just always knew I had something in me. 'I just always had that kind of peace knowing that this is the life I'm gonna live. 'I don't let anybody or anything limit me or put me in a box. I think I'm just confident. 'A lot of people say arrogant, but I think everyone needs a little bit of arrogance, especially to make it in this industry and to make people believe in your music. 'If you're not that proud and you don't believe in your stuff as strongly as you should, why would someone else?' 9 Tyla felt 'trapped' after her single Water reached No4 in the UK charts and was a global hit in 2023 Credit: Brent McKeever Hoppin' Jack Flash SIR MICK JAGGER turned 82 on Saturday and his long-term girlfriend Mel Hamrick celebrated by sharing this adorable photo of him with their son. In the snap posted on Instagram, The Rolling Stones rocker was seen grinning and wearing matching bunny ears with his youngest kid, Deveraux. 9 Sir Mick Jagger's girlfriend posted this pic with his youngest kid, Deveraux Credit: Instagram Mick was no doubt spoilt by all eight of his children on his big day. In the past, he has admitted fatherhood can be a bit of a handful, saying: 'You get a bit out of practice – it's not like riding a bike. "The more children you have, the more laissez-faire you get about them. It's fun to have children, at any age. But if you're working, and always away, you don't get to enjoy it as much.' It looks like he found time for a hoppy birthday, at least. LOTTERY HIT ROB JACKPOT THE LOTTERY WINNERS have been flying high thanks to Robbie Williams, inviting them to be the support act on his Brit Pop tour. Lead singer Thomas Rylance revealed how the friendship flourished. 9 The Lottery Winners have been flying high thanks to Robbie Williams Credit: Handout Speaking at the Together Again Festival at Bolesworth Castle, Cheshire, he said: 'Robbie reached out because he'd heard a few of our songs and read some interviews and he wanted to be friends. We spent months chatting on FaceTime. And then one day he asked if we fancied coming on tour. 'It's been stadiums every night. And to watch Rob do those shows, he's just magic. 'He's just as lovely off stage as he is on stage. He's just such an inspiring man to be around. I think he's my soul mate.' Despite his late night headliner slot, Olly Murs won the prize for the weirdest rider request of the weekend – asking for boxes of Coco Pops and Cornflakes. Jen & Ben are Poles apart IT'S little wonder Jennifer Lopez has such a huge smile on her face. She performed to more than 70,000 fans in Poland this weekend after appearing in Turkey earlier in the week, and looked delighted as she headed out with friends afterwards. 9 Jennifer Lopez looked chic in this nude coloured blazer dress Credit: Splash 9 Jen met fans on her trip to Poland Credit: Splash 9 Jen performed to more than 70,000 fans in the country Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Jen, who wore a chic nude-coloured blazer dress, has been riding high on the success of her shows which have seen her take repeated swipes at her ex Ben Affleck. Last week, insiders told Bizarre's Howell that J-Lo had a whole new album ready to go, with Jen saying on stage she had 'scorned woman energy.' With songs like Up All Night and Wreckage Of You taking pops at Ben, I think he'll be running for cover when that album drops. RED CARPET RAIN A PAIN FOR EDITH AS a regular host of film premieres, Edith Bowman knows all about the ups and downs of a red carpet. But her very worst experience was at one of the biggest events in the showbiz calendar – the Bafta Film awards. 9 Edith Bowman knows all about the ups and downs of a red carpet Credit: BBC In an exclusive chat, Edith said: 'I was eight months pregnant and it was really wet. 'My dress was like a sponge. And so it had literally come up past my knees. 'My dress was kind of waterlogged. And I've got this massive, child-bearing belly in front of me. And so that was probably not the best look and not fun.' But she said one of her highlights in recent years was interviewing Joaquin Phoenix at the 2023 premiere of his film Napoleon – because he did so by accident. Edith recalled: 'We were told beforehand, 'He's not doing anything'. And then he came up not realising what he was coming into. So I was like, 'Nice to see you'. 'I was like, 'You were late the last time we chatted'. And he's like, 'What?'. 'I did a thing for Joker and he went to the loo and then he got lost, and then he came in late. 'So we just got into this really funny conversation, him going, 'I wasn't late, I'm never late!' kind of thing. 'And then he realised his voice was coming out of the speakers. And he was like, 'What am I doing here?'' IT wasn't just Tom Cruise who headed to Wembley Stadium to catch Oasis in action. My pals spotted Dua Lipa in a VIP box with her fiance Callum Turner. 'Dua and Callum were going absolutely wild when Noel and Liam Gallagher came on,' my mate said. 'They were hanging out with Noel's daughter Anais. 'Jarvis Cocker was there too and looked like he was loving it.' Destiny's smiles at Bey's last date BEYONCE took her fans back to where it all started on the final night of her Cowboy Carter world tour, reuniting with her Destiny's Child bandmates. She bought out Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams for a medley of some of their hits including Bootylicious and Lose My Breath. 9 Beyonce reuniting with her Destiny's Child bandmates, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, on stage Credit: instagram/beyonce 9 Beyonce with her Destiny's Child bandmates in 2001 Credit: Reuters Kelly and Michelle even wore chaps for the show at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Although Bey's 32-show tour may be over, she isn't stopping for a rest. She has already finished her next album, which is understood to be called Betty Black. It has its roots in rock is expected to be released in the spring. The record's title is, we understand, a bid to reclaim Ram Jam's 1977 song of the same name which has been controversial in recent years due to its connection to a whip used on enslaved people in prisons. Hill of a hen do WEDDING bells can't be far away for Becky Hill after she spent the weekend in glamorous Lake Como on her hen do. The two-time Brit Award winner flew her nearest and dearest gal pals to Italy for the celebration. It wasn't all play for Becky as she was working too, belting out tracks and getting behind the decks at a gig she played there on Friday. It came a week after her fiance Charlie Gardner flew off on his stag do, which was attended by the couple's close pal Gareth Gates. I'm told Gareth will definitely be there when they tie the knot later this summer. Between touring and working on her next album, it's a wonder Becky's had time to plan a thing.

'I saw real Bonnie Blue behind closed doors - there's one dark truth people don't see'
As a new Channel 4 documentary delves into the shocking real world of Bonnie Blue, mirror writer Ellie Fry argues that the viral adult star's dark influence over young men and women is painfully ignored Sat in a cosy cinema room packed full of press, Bonnie Blue, real name Tia Billinger, seems to be in her element. As her famous face and bright blonde curls pop up on the big screen, us viewers have no idea what's in store as we sit down to watch one of the biggest adult stars in the world appear in a brand new Channel 4 documentary, which promises to deliver full access to the real life of Bonnie Blue. But sitting there alongside her "proud" mum, other family members and small team, Bonnie knows all too well that the extreme sex empire she's painstakingly crafted is about to become even more mainstream, as the broadcaster has spared no blushes in its fly-on-the-wall hour-long show, titled "1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story". Her life behind the scenes and the inner workings of her multi-million pound businesss have been shrouded in mystery until now. But one thing Bonnie's always been desperate to promote are her extreme sex challenges. The star's troubling social media strategy, where she posts aggressively across platforms like Instagram and TikTok, means that everyone - including young girls and boys - can easily stumble across a glimpse of her explicit content, where she boasts about sleeping with married men and being "helpless" as men "take her". Sadly, Channel 4's deep dive does little to hold Bonnie accountable for the undeniable responsibilities she has as a world famous adult star promoting potentially dangerous sex stunts on social media. Our online landscape is already teeming with violent porn and unhealthy perceptions of sex, and in this bleak attention economy of viral videos and views, it seems as though there's no limit to how far Bonnie will push herself. Chillingly, the star's whole business model centres around sleeping with 'normal' men in amateur videos. What struck me watching the film is the horrifying juxtaposition of going to such extreme, unrealistic measures with everyday members of the public. Bonnie positions herself as somewhat of a saviour - relishing in giving the average man a chance to sleep with a porn star, or "teaching barely legal" virgins how to perform in the bedroom. She says in the doc: "I found my purpose in porn. I found the niche I want to focus on. And it's not just because I'm obsessed with 18-year-olds, it was such a bigger picture in terms of teaching them how to have sex; watching their face light up as they lost their virginity. I really love that." But while these gritty, 'homemade' scenes may seem real - and earn Bonnie millions of pounds - the relatability ends at the amateurs involved. The star's extreme stunts - from sleeping with 1,057 men in a day and planning to cage herself in a glass box in a sex 'petting zoo' - are merely perpetuating dangerous myths about what women need to do for their partners - and what men should expect in the bedroom. In a bid to brush away her critics, who have questioned the ethics and power dynamic in her content, Bonnie says that she talks about consent until she's blue in the face, insisting that every participant has to sign a consent form and show ID before taking part. But I can't help but notice her thirst for control over the participants she chooses - notably people who are not in the porn industry, or have never filmed such extreme content before - and wonder where that stems from. It seems as though she deliberately profits from the vulnerability and innocence of the young men and women who agree to appear in her films. And this connection to the everyday public is exactly where that danger lies - it feels so within reach, despite being so extreme. The star's ex husband Oliver Davidson, who appears fleetingly in the film, explains her strategy perfectly. "She really connects with the fans," he says. "Most people, if they do porn, they seem out of reach. You're never going to meet them. You're never going to be able to film with them. Whereas Bonnie puts a location online, and then obviously her fans can actually film with her. It's like a defining moment in porn, where she's completely changed the game." But the normalisation of such severe porn will soon seep into the psyche of young people being fed the content by the giants at Meta and TikTok. And this marketing strategy puts Bonnie at risk too. The star admits in the film that she hasn't left the house alone in the last six months, and fears being attacked by acid on the street. The documentary is radically uncensored in its depiction of Bonnie's work and shows explicit sex scenes, something Channel 4 says is "editorially justified" and "presented in a non-gratuitous manner". Seeing what happens behind the scenes is no doubt shocking, but it's the lesser known 'challenges' involving young women that are more disturbing to me. In the show, the more viral Bonnie gets, the further she leans into these extreme sex acts, as she begins relying on the use of young girls in her content. One scene shows Bonnie filming a sex tape with multiple other young female OnlyFans creators and a male porn star. Interviewing the women who have been recruited to take part in the stunt, filmed in a school classroom, the documentary's director reveals that the creators aren't being paid to take part. One young woman, who profits on OnlyFans with solo work and content with her partner, tells the camera that she's never done anything this "adventurous" and looks visibly nervous. Another timidly admits that the only time she's ever seen live sex is in Amsterdam in the red light district. A third creator, a 21-year-old woman, admits her subscribers love her content because she looks so much younger than she is. In an admission that makes my stomach churn, Bonnie says of the classroom stunt: "The fact that they are so nervous actually works in my favour, because their reactions are going to be more realistic." Bonnie seems to relish in stamping out the innocence of her participants. Yes, they've all consented. But the undercurrent of exploitation, in a classroom full of young women who have never filmed porn before, never mind extreme content, feels palpable. What message does that send out to young boys watching her videos, whose perceptions of consent and power are being shaped by such content? To me, the star appears to hide behind the guise of empowerment - both of herself and virgins, young content creators and 'normal' men - when in reality she is profiting from their vulnerability and glorifying rape culture with her 'challenges'. Her petting zoo stunt, that got cancelled after OnlyFans decided to permanently ban her from its platform at the final hour, would have seen Bonnie "tied down" in a glass box in a house in London, where strangers would come and do "whatever they wanted". Bonnie bragged in the documentary: "I am going to be completely helpless, tied down, gagged, choked". Alarmingly, a recent government review found porn involving non-fatal strangulation (NFS) was "rife" and that its prevalence online was contributing to choking becoming commonplace in some people's sex lives - particularly among young people. Even more disturbingly, the UK courts have seen an alarming rise in women's lives ending after what those accused of their deaths say were 'sex games gone wrong'. To the feminists who challenge her behaviour, Bonnie hits back, saying in the doc: "You fought for women's rights for years and years. You've fought for us to have control over our body and be empowered by that. I'm now living by that. "And suddenly you want me to shut up, have a couple of kids, get married and stay quiet, but I don't want that. If anything, I'm an image of what you've just been asking for for years and years. And suddenly you see it, and you're now thinking, f***, we don't want this woman to speak proudly of sex." As a woman who openly brags about using rage-bait as the cornerstone of her business model, spamming multiple TikTok and Instagram accounts a day with content designed to outrage, it's hard to take anything Bonnie says seriously. But she certainly refuses to take any responsibility for the influence she may have over the younger generation. When asked how she feels about young teenagers coming across her content, Bonnie admits she "forgets" to think of it from that point of view. She then says bluntly: "There's also a parent's responsibility to say, hey, there's people in the world that do mass murders. [It] doesn't mean you do that." Even if it's not Bonnie's job to educate young people on safe and healthy sex, there's something sinister in wanting to profit from those who may be vulnerable. In one part of the show, she admits: "I really want to do a disabled gang bang". Rage-bait or not, where do we draw the line at accepting such statements? And who is being "empowered" here? Channel 4 failed to press Bonnie on that vile remark. It's a show that leaves more questions than answers, and feels more like an advert than a documentary. It's too early to say just how much of an impact this new trend of extreme sex stunts will have on young people, but it feels like a nightmare waiting to happen - and, as the show does thankfully note, Bonnie clearly has no interest in taking accountability for the fallout.

I'm a picky eater & eat barely any of the ‘awful' food at all-inclusive hotels – trolls slam me as ‘disrespectful'
Scroll down to find out what Simone had for her dinner FOOD FOR THOUGHT I'm a picky eater & eat barely any of the 'awful' food at all-inclusive hotels – trolls slam me as 'disrespectful' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN has been slammed as "disrespectful" for turning her nose up at the "weird" dishes on offer at an all inclusive hotel. Simone Wilko, a self-confessed picky eater, recently went on holiday to Cyprus, and was not impressed by the food that was on offer. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Simone was not impressed by the food in her all inclusive hotel Credit: Tiktok s33immm 2 People have slammed her for being disrespectful Credit: Tiktok s33immm Taking to TikTok, the influencer showed off the diverse array of food in the restaurant at her hotel, stating that there was "so much to choose from, but at the same time there wasn't." Showing viewers a plate of delicious looking stuffed courgettes with vegetables, she said: "I understand I'm in a different country, but what on earth are these foods? "They look absolutely awful." Showing the camera a dish of traditional black eye beans with Swiss chards, she then said: "I couldn't think of anything worse." Simone then spotted a pizza and got excited as she thought it was margherita, but after reading that the label said Quatro Formaggi (four cheese) she decided to give it a miss. The holidaymaker then decided to put some plain bread on her plate, along with a portion of chips. "If these had herbs on, I wouldn't have got them", she admitted. "I just don't like the taste of seasoning." She then placed some ribs on her plate, and a small bit of pork from a stir fry, making sure to avoid the veg as she "hates spring onions". However, she said that the pork was "horrible" anyway, as it had seasoning on it. 10 Expert Tips for Managing Picky Eaters Simone then moved on to dessert, but unfortunately said that she also found her chocolate mousse "disgusting". Her video, posted under the username (@s33immm) has quickly gone viral, racking up 772,000 views on the video sharing platform. TikTok users raced to the video's comments section to share their thoughts, with many unimpressed by Simone's attitude to the cuisine. One person said: "Picky is fine, but insulting other countries' foods is not OK." A second person said: "Fellow lowkey picky eater here but there's a difference between you and me. "I don't go around being disrespectful about food." A third person said: "I'm a very picky eater but this seems disrespectful." A fourth added: "Picky is one thing but just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's disgusting."
