Jamie and Jools Oliver welcomed their newborn son two weeks ago and there’s been much speculation about the wee boy’s name.

Would he carry a nature-inspired moniker like his siblings or would the Olivers break with tradition and go for something, well, traditional!

The couple FINALLY teased the name on Jools' Instagram last night.

Jools shared a print by illustrator Laura Clempson that read: "DREAM BIG RIVER". She captioned this with a rocket emoji, suggesting the baby's name is River Rocket Oliver.

Fans seem quite taken by the name with some commenting "sooo cute" and "how magical" - we think it’s perfectly in-keeping with the names of their other son and three daughters.

Jamie said he’s "beyond happy" with the new addition who joins Poppy Honey Rosie, 14, Daisy Boo Pamela, 12, Petal Blossom Rainbow, six, and five-year-old Buddy Bear Maurice.

The 41-year-old celebrity chef previously revealed he was hoping for another son.

He said: "I thought we'd have a couple of kids but that's about it. Basically, I do what I'm told, but she's an amazing family maker and I just go with it.

"A bit more testosterone would probably be a good thing, but do you know what, I'm just grateful for whatever I get if it's healthy."

He posted this beautiful pic of mum and bub catching 40 winks with the caption: "Mum & baby.....zzzzz"

In the past week, Jools has shared adorable pics of her little girls helping out.

With this much support, we don’t imagine Jamie changes many nappies! But it looks like the girls have it all under control. Taking to Instagram after the birth, Jools had already declared: “So very proud of our two eldest daughters who cut the cord.”

We wish the Oliver brood all the very best.
