Celebrity Baby Name of the Day — “Poppy Honey”
It was a toss-up whether to pick Poppy Honey, the name of Jamie Oliver’s eldest daughter, or Daisy Boo, the name of his youngest, as celebrity baby name of the day. In the end, Poppy Honey won out, largely because of the culinary part of her name.
Wildly popular in his native Britain, Jamie Oliver, also known as The Naked Chef, and his wife Juliette Norton, were unlikely to give their offspring anything but unusual, cute names. A natural promoter, Oliver has rightly won recognition (in the form of a 2003 Member of the British Empire appointment by H.M. Queen Elizabeth), in part for his work on behalf of banning junk food from British schools.
Oliver has also created a chain of restaurants called Fifteen, now open in London, Amsterdam, Cornwall, and Melbourne, which provide jobs to disadvantaged youth.
