Noah Price, the husband of Venezuela Fury, has found himself the target of online ridicule after a blunder during a recent livestream with his wife.
When a viewer enquired whether he had met Molly Mae and Tommy Fury’s son, Midas, yet, Noah pronounced the newborn’s name incorrectly, saying “Mi-das” rather than the correct “My-das”.
To make matters worse, he appeared completely unaware of the baby’s sex, asking Venezuela off-camera: “Tommy’s girl? Or is it a boy?”
His wife, whose uncle is boxer Tommy Fury, had to confirm that the child was indeed male.

Fans quickly flooded comments to call out Noah’s gaffe.
“How does one become a fan of these people?” one critic commented on X.
Another penned: “I cannot bring myself to watch this as I fear I will lose brain cells.”
“Oh dear, he is part of the Fury family and he does not know if a relative had a boy or a girl?” asked a third viewer.

However, some fans defended the social media influencer.
One person wrote: “Why would he know the baby’s name? I don’t even know it.”
Another added: “Midas can be a girl or boy name, like Terry or Terri.”
The boxer unveiled his son’s name during his bout against Eddie Hall on Saturday evening, stepping into the ring with “Midas” stitched onto both his top and shorts.

In a vlog recorded before giving birth, Molly-Mae had acknowledged that the name presents pronunciation difficulties.
She conceded it was perhaps not quite as unusual as their daughter Bambi’s name, but noted she was only aware of one other child with the same moniker.
The name derives from Greek mythology, specifically the king of Phrygia who was granted the ability to transform everything he touched into gold.
However, the tale serves as a warning rather than a celebration, as Midas ultimately turned his food, drink and even his own daughter into the precious metal.

The phrase “the Midas touch” has come to represent both success and associations with greed and foolishness.
Public opinion on the choice has been sharply divided, with some suggesting the parents had overlooked the cautionary nature of the story.
One person wrote on X: “It’s funny how they’ve missed the entire point of the story.”
“If there is only one other known case of the name being used, there’s a good reason for that,” said another.
A third penned: “Weird name!”
Others, however, described the name as “gorgeous”.
