Celeb parents need a mediator to choose baby name

Feared they'd divorce over it! - by Angela Mollard
  • 09 Sep 2016

Deciding on a baby name can be tricky but for one celebrity couple the arguments developed into a full-blown war.

 

British TV host Cat Deeley and her comedian husband Patrick Kielty have revealed they needed a mediator to step in when they reached an impasse.

 

Speaking to Jimmy Kimmel, Cat revealed the arguments over what to call their first child, a boy, were "awful".

 

'We weren't talking to each other - it was just horrific,' she revealed, adding that  she feared Patrick was going to file for divorce.

 

In the end her mother stepped in as a mediator when Cat wanted something simple and Patrick wanted something more "out there".

 

Cat's mum asked what name they'd chosen for a girl, and when the couple replied "Milo" she suggested they use if for their son since it was also a boy's name.
