It was the Jimmy Carr episode that Josh said his kids names because Jimmy asked. Rob just said he keeps his kids names private. Jimmy’s son is called Rockefeller by the way!

Not knowing something makes me really want to know - therefore I really want to know their names even though I usually wouldn’t care!

I feel bad saying this so I'll spoiler it but I think I saw a name of one of Robs kids on a drawing he posted online, the name was written upside down

I’ve heard Rob say one of the girls names by accident but I feel bad writing it on here as it was a mistake when he said it. I imagine having a famous parent and famous surname like Beckett would be hard on children growing up. I’m glad he’s giving them some anonymity

Yeah it’s deffo good of him to give them privacy - I’m just nosy as fuck

Oh me too! The name I heard was on our baby girl list of names so in an odd way I was like “oh nice!”

I reckon they will have modern, fairly common names among the age group. I always imagine one of them is called Isla.

Got to an episode the other day where Josh says his daughter’s name I think
On the episode with Jimmy Carr Josh tells him both his kids names , and Josh also dedicated his book to them and named them both (very hipster east London names as you’d expect!!) . I don’t think he’s as fussy about it as Rob . But if he called his children by their names on the podcast and Rob didn’t it would sound weird so that’s why he does it

sorry if others have already said this I haven’t caught up but his daughter is called Pearl and his son is called Cassius

The Tom Davis one is one of my favourites. I think it's really important for men to discuss infertility. It was so heartfelt.

I'm still shocked at Jimmy Carr's son's name! Unless it's a joke but he sounded pretty sincere.

I feel like that about Josh's kids names to be fair. They just seem so old fashioned and too try hard. I don't imagine them as names he's picked.

Although I doubt Rose would have let him pick Kevin Keegan Widdecombe for their son which no doubt would have been his suggestion.

I really like his daughter's name. It sounds lovely when he said it. However, as a Scottish person, it doesn't sound so great

Hi everyone, I’ve just read all 20 pages after being sent here from someone on the Ramsey’s thread (you know who you are!!)

I love the PH podcast and the dynamics between the two of them. I think Rob can sometimes get a bit overexcited and that’s when he starts talking over Josh. He does usually realise and reign himself in though.

I think I’m in the minority when I say that I didn’t enjoy the Denise Welch episode. Although I do have an irrational dislike of her anyway, so that probably doesn’t help.

I loved the Tom Davis one - I listen to his pod with Rom and he has discussed their struggles on there, and he is such a doting dad to his little girl.

I remember the Shappi Korsandi one way back in lockdown - she really struggled and flipped at the slightest thing. I completely related to that.

Also didn’t know Jimmy Carr was a dad until his episode - he kept that quiet. Loved Sean Lock’s too, another doting dad.

Think I’ve waffled on enough for now but will be back!!! X

I don’t mind the name , although it does have Louise Pentland connotations who is an insufferable influencer and has a daughter with the same name

his son’s name isn’t for me - it feels very pretentious and east London and when I found it what it was it baffled me that he had friends who said they were going to name their son that !!

The milk tray moment they should bring that back as a question haha. Relevant even out of lockdown

i loved Tom Davis’ episode too. He managed to be emotionally honest, informative and yet hilarious about a subject most people know nothing about.
it’s episodes like that one that made me such a fan of the podcast.

Absolutely. He comes across as such a lovely, warm and caring man. He’s besotted with his wife and daughter, and isn’t shy in telling Romesh how much he loves him! I’m a big fan of Big Tom D!
