10. Which celebrity chef has children named: Poppy Honey Rosie, Daisy Boo Pamela, Petal Blossom Rainbow, Buddy Bear Maurice, and River Rocket?

Answer: Jamie Oliver

Jamie Oliver and his wife Jools have been together since they were seventeen. Jools told "MyLondon" magazine, "They [the children] all have more than one name because I couldn't decide...I'm not sure where Petal Blossom Rainbow came from - apparently it's a "My Little Pony"! I wanted to call her Rainbow but Jamie told me to calm down..."With Buddy it was quite fun choosing a boy's name as I hadn't done it before. And I hate people's opinions on names. Whatever you call your baby is your decision." Their fifth child and second son River has almost a conventional name and origin.

He is named after the restaurant Jamie was working in as a sous chef, the River Cafe when he was discovered by the BBC in 1997.
