After days of speculation, Molly‑Mae Hague and Tommy Fury have finally revealed the name of their newborn son and it’s a choice steeped in ancient symbolism and modern cultural flair. The couple, who welcomed their second child on June 3, kept fans waiting before confirming the name during Tommy’s boxing appearance in Manchester on Saturday night.
Their baby boy is named Midas, a nod to the legendary king from Greek mythology whose touch famously turned everything to gold. According to The Sun, Tommy shared the name while facing retired strongman Eddie Hall in the ring, ending a week of intense curiosity among fans.
The name Midas has long been associated with prosperity, luck and the ability to transform anything into success. It has also woven itself into pop culture over the decades from Midnight Star’s 1986 hit Midas Touch (“I’ve got the Midas touch / Everythin’ I touch turns to gold”) to Taylor Swift’s lyric “Your Midas touch on the Chevy door” in Champagne Problems. Even the band Wunderhorse embraced the name for their 2024 album.
Fans wasted no time reacting online once the name dropped.
“Love the name Midas and Molly‑Mae looks absolutely sensational,” one person wrote on X. Another gushed, “THATS SO CUTEEEE STOP.” But not everyone was convinced, with one user joking, “Molly Mae really cannot give her children normal names can she? First Bambi and now Midas?”
Whether adored or debated, the name Midas certainly ensures the couple’s newest arrival enters the world with a touch of myth, sparkle and unmistakable individuality.
