Bonnie Blue, an adult performer, has named her newborn child BetBolt after an online auction on TikTok. In the auction, a cryptocurrency-based gambling company with the same name, BetBolt, paid £907,000 (about $1.2 million) for the naming rights. The company operates from Anjouan, one of the semi-autonomous islands in the Comoros Union, and its social media presence is relatively small, with its X account following just 11 people, including Tommy Robinson, a British political commentator.
Bonnie Blue previously made headlines for claiming she had slept with 1,057 men in one day. Recently, she has challenged another performer, Camilla Araujo, to help her double that number within 24 hours. The two discussed their plans on Camilla’s podcast, where Bonnie admitted she felt nervous during her previous stunt.
The decision to name the child BetBolt has raised concerns among mental health professionals and child welfare advocates. Emma Kenny, a psychologist, expressed worries about the long-term impact on the child’s identity and emotional well-being. She noted the risks of ridicule, stigma, and online harassment, emphasizing that the child cannot consent to having their name used as part of a commercial transaction.
BetBolt’s spokesperson, Leo, defended the company’s involvement, stating that the name was chosen because both the company and Bonnie share a similar approach—though the company does it financially, and Bonnie physically. The spokesperson also claimed the child is in good care and will not face poverty.
Bonnie Blue faced criticism from Joy Morrissey, a spokesperson for the UK Conservative Party, who raised safeguarding concerns about the child’s well-being. Other names considered for the child included "HSTikkyTokky" and "Clavicular," but there is no evidence these names were actually bid on by the individuals they reference.
In the UK, while there is no official list of banned baby names, names that could cause emotional harm or are deemed impractical may be rejected. Bonnie Blue responded to the criticism by saying she would consider renaming her child for the same amount, highlighting the ethical issues raised by the naming auction.
