OVIE Soko may only have been on Love Island for a few days, but he’s already inspiring baby names.
Over on Mumsnet, a woman has asked for opinions on using the basketball player’s moniker for her child.

In a post simply entitled “Ovie”, the woman wrote: “Am I watching too much Love Island or is this a cute name?”
There were mixed responses, with some saying they thought it was a nice idea.
Comments included: “Cute name,” and: “I love it.”
Another said: “I like it. Also like Dennon too lol,” referring to Ovie’s former Casa Amor housemate Dennon Lewis.

But others weren’t so sure.
One message read: “I’ve never seen Love Island, naming your kid because of a show which is on now but presumably not forever seems shortsighted tbh.”
Another added: “Sounds like ovaries and ovia (the app). Or ovo / huevo / uovo (egg) in Portuguese, Spanish and Italian respectively. It’s a no from me! [sic].”

When someone suggested Olive as an alternative, a fellow mum mocked: “Ovie on Love Island is a 6ft 7 muscly hunk.
“I really don’t think Olive would work as a substitute!”
What do you make of the name?
Meanwhile, mums are turning £3 Ikea spice racks into bookshelves for their children’s bedrooms.
From Ella to Joseph, these are the names the naughtiest kids have based on their school behaviour.
And a mum has launched a scathing rant against parents who are always late for the school run.
