Tyson Fury's sons' names

I have vaguely heard of Tyson Fury but today I read an article about him in The Mail (I know!). He has 5 children and 3 are boys all named Prince!

I mean how can they all have the same name? I assume they have nicknames at home but even so what is the point of naming them all the same. It's just totally weird and really seems rather stupid

Watching the Tyson fury gypsy king programme now. Enjoying it.

HJWT · 21/02/2020 19:12

@ShesGotBetteDavisEyes probably knew he couldn't win 🤷🏻‍♀️

MadameMeursault · 21/02/2020 19:14

But the Queen has 3 sons all called Prince so it must be ok.

Tatiana the boys all have different second names.

His address is pretty easy to find steff if you watch the documentary or live local Grin

He's a decent guy, he's a gypsy which makes some of the things they choose to do different from what a non-gypsy might do.

Wonder how many of you slating him have shared "Be Kind" on your social media Hmm

His views are not great, though stemming from another thread on travellers.
They are fiercely traditional you don't bring shame on the family, I doubt he would actually hang his sister though it is the way they talk and live. A teenage friend ATT her dad beat her around with the kettle cable and plug she was taken from school for talking to a boy.
Tbf I'd say it was similar in families in the 1950's. Travellers have not evolved as quick though it is changing for women.
I don't want to insult traveller ladies their ways are traditionally old skool like a 1950's home including violence towards women.

"I stand up for my beliefs. My wife’s job is cooking and cleaning and looking after these kids, that’s it. She does get to make some decisions – what she’s gonna cook me for tea when I get home…" Have you actually listened to Mrs Fury in interviews? She's highly articulate and strong. I'm sure Tyson Fury has many 'regressive' views which don't accord with the hive mind but I doubt he gives a shit. The traveller culture seems to be at complete variance with MN culture so the thread will now descend into complete demonisation.

Damian Le Bas is a gypsy too, but I’ve never heard him being homophobic, racist or having revolting attitudes to the role of women in a household.

Let’s not give TF a free pass for being a dick Because Traveller.

bandasilver · 21/02/2020 19:20

Well I mean you wouldn’t forget their names

TSSDNCOP · 21/02/2020 19:21

No, his views are not “great” and he’s the polar fucking opposite of a “decent guy”.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with #bekind, which for the record I haven’t posted anywhere, and everyone to do with the fact he’s a repellent little thug.

You can roll a turd in glitter. It’s still a turd.

TheBeastInMsRooneysRoom · 21/02/2020 19:21

Jermajesty and Jafaar?? I really missed an opportunity naming my kids. They're just going to be normal people.

My middle child realised aged about 7 that I must have used my favourite name on my oldest and was deeply offended (always). Sounds like Tyson and Paris are just avoiding childhood trauma Hmm . Poor Venezuela is the only one who didn't get the top-tier name.

Valleychalet · 21/02/2020 19:21

There were siblings at my primary school that had the same name, they were Catholic, not sure if that's the reason why though! Valencia is a pretty name

TheBeastInMsRooneysRoom · 21/02/2020 19:22
  • posterbandasilver Fri 21-Feb-20 19:20:15 Well I mean you wouldn’t forget their names*

My mum would still manage to call us the dog's name even if my siblings and I had same ones. Grin

NotALurker2 · 21/02/2020 19:22

Why aren't his daughters named Princess? Not fair.

HJWT · 21/02/2020 19:22

@derxa not to mention her father wouldn't allow her to be treated in that way!

Tyson has a very vulnerable mental state and would say a lot of stupid stuff when he is that way out, my DH is the exact same! Gypsy men do not have an easy upbringing and it can really F them up mentally!

LoseLooseLucy · 21/02/2020 19:24

I don't believe for a minute he actually is homophobic, racist, or has revolting attitudes to the role of women, despite what he has said.

He appears to have a propensity for speaking sometimes without thinking first, but I don't think that makes him hateful.

I still like him anyway.

Ricekrispie22 · 21/02/2020 19:25

I suppose it saves a bit of money on name tags!

Is that you Tyson’s mum?

Clawdy · 21/02/2020 19:26

Definitely racist and homophobic, cannot see anything likeable about him.

Saucery · 21/02/2020 19:30

I don’t think the Pope is Catholic, despite all the words he says.

I mean, why judge peoples’ thoughts on what comes out of their mouths, presumably in a direct line from their brains? That’s a stupid way to tell what someone thinks deep inside.
We should look at their Aura, or how they act in TV interviews while being homophobic and misogynistic or something, shouldn’t we.
Listening to what they say is ridiculous.

PineappleDanish · 21/02/2020 19:30

It is common to remove the DC to home educate after primary.

Without any actual education going on.

moondance19 · 21/02/2020 19:30

Oh good, a thread randomly being mean about a celebrity, so much for all the ‘be kind’ chat

So should we just never talk about celebrities, it’s hardly mean either. Confused

LoseLooseLucy · 21/02/2020 19:34

Is that you Tyson’s mum?

Aye, you got me.

Nancydrawn · 21/02/2020 19:36

I'm sure he's a lovely man. He's probably really kind to his wife and his kids and people he knows. He seems charming and disarming.

That's great. He still tried to make bank out of bullying Jews, women, and gay people. You can be charming and still be horrible.

I don't think being kind means not holding people accountable for their actions. I'm not going to harass him; I'm not going to glory in his misery; I'm not going to say awful things about his family or his looks or, say, his kids' names. But I am going to say that anyone who tries to get attentionby which we also mean fame and moneyby bullying vulnerable people doesn't get an excuse because he's a good dad and has a lovely grin.

inwood · 21/02/2020 19:38

I like the fact he wants his kids educated, at least hats a start. The wife wants to pull them out at 11 (apparently).

FishCanFly · 21/02/2020 19:38

It might as well be that crazy celebrity kid names are for media only, to protect their actual names and privacy
