Since then the public have been convinced the name Midas links to Greek mythology and the king of Phrygia, who was granted a wish that everything he touched turned to gold. However, Molly-Mae has now set the record straight.
In a new vlog, Molly-Mae has revealed that their son was actually named after a robot boxing film, Real Steel. She said: “We have named our son Midas. His middle name is Thomas and his surname is Fury. So he’s Midas Thomas Fury. We had this name for a boy for quite a few years.
“I saw a couple of comments when the name was being rumoured about how the name originates from Greek mythology because there was a king called King Midas, and he was the king. I believe the story is that everything he touches turns to gold, and I do absolutely just like love that saying.”
She added: “But the same way Bambi is not necessarily named after the Disney character Bambi, is the same way Midas is not named after the Greek King. This is the most random story. I actually found the name from watching a film called Real Steel, which is like the most random film. It’s basically like Transformers.
‘It’s the most not me film ever. And I showed my mum it the other week. She was like, ‘This is so like random for you to like this film.’ And I was like, ‘I know, but it’s actually such a great film.
“It’s got Hugh Jackman in it, and it’s a film about robots boxing. And one of the robots in the film that was boxing was called Midas. I heard the name, and I thought this was years ago. I was like, “Wow, that’s a really cool strong name.”
“Like Midas, I’ve never heard of that before. I just thought Midas Fury, I thought, “Wow, what a strong name.” Then I mentioned it to Tommy, and he just absolutely fell in love with I don’t even know what timeline we’re looking at here.
“This could have been like literally years ago, but that was always our boy name really that we stuck with.”
