"My husband, Josh, 35, and I are always looking for fun ideas for videos to share with our social media followers, and the reel we posted after the birth of our seventh child this month was no exception. Our six older kids dressed as beloved Disney characters for a very special name reveal on Instagram: our beautiful newborn is called Disney Mae Jones."
"They said, "It should be illegal," or we would have infringed on a trademark. Others said she'd be bullied in school. The most ridiculous comment was that the doctors and nurses at the hospital should have a veto on so-called "weird" names. But we really don't care what they think. Nor do our kids. Like us, they find it strange that anyone could be negative about a brand new baby they have never met."
"Winnie the Pooh. Check! A dancing hippo. Check! Cinderella and Belle. Check and Check! The entire family is heavily invested in the franchise. Josh was raised in Florida, and I grew up in California, so we went to Disneyland and Disney World as children. Meanwhile, our brood, who range in age from 1 to 13, has lost count of the number of movies they've seen on Disney+."
Aubree and Josh Jones named their seventh child Disney Mae Jones and revealed the name in an Instagram reel with their six older children dressed as Disney characters. The family has strong ties to Disney through childhood visits to Disneyland and Disney World and extensive viewing on Disney+. The newborn, three weeks old, was welcomed with enthusiasm and described as a perfect fit for the household. Some online commentators criticized the name, raised trademark and bullying concerns, and suggested medical staff should intervene. The parents and children dismissed the criticism and emphasized that the name evokes magic and joy and honors Walt Disney's legacy.
