Look, naming five humans is hard. Most of us struggle to name a pet goldfish. Jamie and Jools went full-on creative with Poppy, Daisy, Petal, Buddy, and River, and honestly, it works. The names are chaotic, endearing, and totally on-brand for a man who puts “pukka” in his vocabulary. Sure, some might call them pretentious, but have you seen the state of celebrity baby names lately? At least no one is named “X Æ A-12” in the Oliver household.
So the next time you’re cooking one of Jamie’s 15-minute meals, remember: that man is also wrangling a teenager, a tween, and a kid named “Rocket.” Suddenly, your toddler asking for a snack doesn’t seem so bad. Pass the olive oil. And maybe some patience.
