I've named my kids Rumble Honey, Whimsy Lou & Slim Easy – number four is on its way & people aren't convinced by my pick

The Irish Suna day ago
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.

But unfortunately for the duo - who've been slammed for setting
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

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?

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.

Kanye blocked from entering Australia over Hitler song

Updated / Wednesday, 2 Jul 2025 11:00 American rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has been blocked from entering Australia over an offensively titled song praising Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. Australian Home Affairs minister Tony Burke revealed that the singer has been travelling for years to the country, where his wife of three years, Bianca Censori, was born. Her family live in Melbourne. Mr Burke said the track, which was released in May, promoted Nazism. It has been criticised as an antisemitic tribute to German dictator Adolf Hitler. "He's been coming to Australia for a long time. He's got family here. And he's made a lot of offensive comments that my officials looked at again once he released the song and he no longer has a valid visa in Australia," the minister told Australian Broadcasting Corp. "We have enough problems in this country already without deliberately importing bigotry," he added. Australia's Migration Act sets security and character requirements for non-citizens to enter the country. Its largest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, have seen a spate of antisemitic attacks since the war between Israel and Hamas began on October 7 2023. Source: Associated Press

I know I'm hot but I wasn't prepared for the legion of thirsty women after I posted a torso shot on Facebook Marketplace

A MAN trying to flog a kids' white desk on Facebook Marketplace was stunned when he became the thing people wanted to buy. Daz Gracie had a legion of thirsty Advertisement 3 Daz decided to help his mum out and shift some of the furniture in her new house Credit: Kennedy News 3 The single man was shocked by what happened next Credit: Kennedy News 3 The image soon caught people's attention, but not for the reason Daz expected Credit: Kennedy News The single man posted photos of the pink and white children's desk on a Facebook Freecycle page in a bid to free up space and inadvertently captured his toned tum in one of the mirrors. The 37-year-old says he didn't plan for his abs to make a guest appearance in the mirrored lid but when he realised, posted it anyway. The loft insulation installer said 'within 20 seconds' the desk had been claimed and his phone 'went wild' with messages from women desperate to claim him and leave the desk. The viral post, which racked up almost 4,000 likes, shares and comments, left Daz 'laughing his head off' and claiming that Facebook ads might be the future of dating.

"I took some pictures, then I noticed my torso was in it. Don't get me wrong I love a topless selfie but I could get a lot better one than that. "All the lads were like 'Daz I know what you're like' but honestly if I was meant to be in it I would have put my face in it as well.

Daz said: "I'm not on the dating apps. I think I'm a good-looking chap anyway, I get plenty of messages. "I've only been single about seven months and I was with my partner for a while. "Having a lot of thirsty women after me on Facebook is definitely good for the ego. Advertisement "I'm not tempted to take any of them up on the offer just yet, I'm going on holiday so I'll see what happens after. "My advice to any single blokes struggling to get messages on dating apps - get a picture on 'items for sale' and see what happens. Your luck could change." Top tips when buying on Facebook Marketplace Be scammer-aware As a general rule of thumb, deal locally, and face-to-face. If someone asks you to ship an item, be wary. Only use secure methods of payment, look at buyer and seller reviews, and inspect an item closely before purchasing it. Stick to Messenger to communicate as well. Choose wealthy areas to get high-end items at low prices A well-to-do person who is selling something on Marketplace probably doesn't know or doesn't care what their item is worth. This is a jackpot scenario for a buyer. Don't be afraid to haggle If an item has been listed for weeks, offer 25% below the list price. It's likely the seller will counter offer, but you'll still get the item for less than originally priced. Don't send the auto-filled 'Is this item still available?' message If you notice an item is well-priced and desirable, and you really like it, don't wait around. Send a friendly opening message with an offer, and make the transaction hassle-free for the seller. Keep search items as broad as possible Assume the seller doesn't know exactly what they have, where it's from, what the material is, what the design style is, or how much it's worth—and cast a wide net. Daz's Facebook post reads: "Child's desk free to collect near Barnsley town centre. Thank you." One woman wrote: "Can I be considered, please, but not for the desk? X" Advertisement Another commented: "Is the man still available with delivery. Erm I mean the item." One wrote: "Mmmm very nice , whoever gets it is a very lucky girl." Another commented: "Free cycle the future of dating."

TikTok star Garron Noone cancels nationwide tour

Comedian and singer-songwriter Garron Noone has announced the cancellation of his nationwide tour, describing it as a "difficult decision". The popular Mayo native, who boasts over four million followers across TikTok and Instagram, shared the news on social media. In his message, he explained: "Many of you will be aware of some of the issues I've dealt with in the past and unfortunately, over the last few months I have been dealing with a lot of these issues again. "It has gotten to a point where I really need to put all my energy into getting back on track." He added that he's "disappointed" not to be able to see his fans but hopes to reschedule the tour for 2026, assuring that all tickets will remain valid. "I'm truly sorry to everyone who was planning to come see me," he said. "I know many of you made special arrangements to attend the shows, and I really appreciate the support," he said. In June, the content creator revealed he was stepping away from social media for a while, as he cited the mental pressure that has accompanied his online success. Noone briefly deactivated his TikTok and Instagram accounts in March after a backlash to comments he made on immigration. Last year, after he received a shout-out during the singer's sold-out Dublin gig.
