I’m A Celebrity fans were shocked to realize the bizarre reason for Jamie Lynn Spears’ name.
The American singer’s name is a combination of her father and mother’s first names – Jamie Spears, 71, and Lynne Spears, 68.
Her famous sister Britney, 41, is estranged from her father and the pair are believed to be working on her relationship with their mother, but Jamie Lynn, 32, has never denounced her parents.
The strange revelation has led to TV fans mocking the star on social media, with one user writing: “Jamie Lynn Spears and her husband having the same first name will always be funny to me. When you introduce yourself, do you ask yourself, ‘Hello, my name is Mr. Jamie Watson and this is Mrs. Jamie Watson?’
Another wrote: “Jamie Lynne is the most country name ever, her father’s name is Jamie and her mother’s name is Lynn.”

It came after the actress burst into tears again before threatening to quit the show after spending just three days in the jungle on Tuesday.
Pop superstar Britney’s younger sister was left heartbroken after failing to reunite with her luxury item, a photo of her children.
After a little challenge that saw her housemates sheepishly return without the photo, Jamie Lynn stormed into the Bush Telegraph and declared she was ready to leave the jungle.
Sobbing, she said: “I just want to see my children,” only for stunned viewers to ask whether the American, who is mother to daughters Maddie, 15, and Ivy, five, had ever seen the show she signed up for had.
Earlier in the episode, she confided in her co-stars Sam Thompson and Danielle Harold for emotional support.
Jamie Lynn broke down in tears after admitting she felt “so emotionally weak” at camp.
Speaking to Danielle and Sam, she revealed: “I don’t know why I’m so emotionally weak.”
To lighten the mood, Danielle told her, “You’re so strong.” This is hard, baby, hard. So hard. It is not easy.’

Jamie Lynn added: “Why do I cry so much?” Josie[Gibson}hasababyathome…'[Gibson}hasababyathome…'[Gibson}hateinBabyzuHause…'[Gibson}hasababyathome…’
Sam consoled: “It’s important to remember that you come from a completely different continent, you don’t know anyone here, it’s hard. ‘It’s really hard.’
Danielle added: “Look at all the shit you’ve been through in your life, right? ‘That, a bit of rain in the jungle, nothing.’
Jamie Lynn replied, “But at least I could go home to my babies every night, you know?” That’s it, that’s all I need in life. It feels a little overwhelming. They’re not even close.
“I just have to do it. ‘I don’t know why I’m such a baby.’
Sam added, “I get it man, I’ve got two cats at home – Albus and Cedric – little fluffy men.” You know what I mean? So I understand. No children, but I understand.’
Danielle joked: “Let it out, Sam…”
Jamie Lynn later went to the Bush Telegraph and added positively: “Your campmates pull you up and you say, ‘I can do this, I can do that’.”
Jamie Lynn’s parents married in 1976 and had their first child, Bryan Spears, in 1977.
Lynne filed for divorce in 1980, but by 1981 they had reconciled and welcomed their first daughter Britney – ten years later they had Jamie Lynn.
