Dad Names His Newborn Son 'Bermondsey Millwall Den' Without Telling His Wife

It was a moment of great comedic appeal in Only Fools and Horses when it was revealed that Del Boy's younger brother had been christened Rodney Charlton Trotter. 

Well, one parent has taken the south London football club naming convention to the next level by calling his newborn "Bermondsey Millwall Den."

The name references the area of south London in which Millwall play and their stadium, The New Den.

Lifelong Lions fan Mike Bloomfield registered his son's unique new name without even telling his wife. The Mirror reports:

"

He carried out the name change at the registry office without informing his wife, Kelly.

Mike told Southwark News: "If David Beckham can name his son Brooklyn, then I can name mine Bermondsey! I just love Millwall and this is a good way to get the next generation involved.

"

Despite receiving no consultation on the name, Bloomfield's wife was happy with the choice. "I think he looks a bit like a Bermondsey," she said. 

As a result of this unusual naming, "Bermondsey Millwall Den" was trending on Twitter in the UK on Thursday.
