A mum has revealed her baby shares the same name as Molly-Mae Hague's newborn - and says she doesn't care if people hate it.<br /><br />Indy Clinton, 25, has been a lover of Disney's Bambi since she was a little girl, and often read the book to her first-born, Navy, two.<br /><br />After originally planning to name her second child Paloma, Indy said her daughter's "sweet, curious nature" and "big brown eyes" just reminded her of the cartoon doe.<br /><br />She settled on the moniker Bambi for their little girl, now four months old, and say it was met with surprise by friends and family.<br /><br />Indy "couldn't believe the coincidence" when Molly-Mae announced she had named her daughter Bambi too - on Instagram earlier this week (January 31).<br /><br />Indy, an influencer and fitness blogger, from Melbourne, Australia, said: "Four months ago, when I was giving birth, I was convinced Bambi was the most unique, unusual name that nobody would use.<br /><br />"Good on Molly-Mae though, looks like great minds think alike.<br /><br />"We were set on calling her Paloma at first.<br /><br />"That was her name, and nothing was going to change that.<br /><br />"But I was reading the book to Navy one night and it came to me.<br /><br />"I sat up and yelled, 'what about Bambi?' and from then on it stuck."<br /><br />While people have been vocal about influencers Molly-Mae's name choice on social media, Indy doesn't care if others don't like it.<br /><br />"You know, unique names are the new trend," she said.<br /><br />"Bambi is going to fit right in with the Rivers, Bears, Forests, Stormis and Wolfs.<br /><br />"I’d be more concerned calling my kid a name from the 1900s.<br /><br />"People will criticise anything these days, so at least give them something to talk about."<br /><br />Indy couldn't be happier with her baby's name - and describes her as "such a little Bambi".<br /><br />"Obviously in the movie Bambi is a male, but she has the sweetest features," she said.<br /><br />"The big brown eyes, the long legs - just like Bambi from the film.<br /><br />"She couldn't be a Paloma now - she's my Bambilicious."
