Johnny Depp’s Ex-wife Criticized over Name Choice for Her Child: ‘I Feel Sorry for Any of Her Kids’

Amber Heard’s recent outing with her daughter caught fans’ attention, but it was the choice of her child’s name that sparked more surprise than the pair’s appearance in public.

Amber’s recent sighting comes hot on the heels of news that she may be expecting her second child. Radiating joy, the actress strolled through Madrid with a beaming smile, carrying her daughter. It turned into a charming family outing, as Amber’s sister, Whitney Henriquez, joined the walk with her own child in tow.

Since concluding her highly publicized defamation trial with ex-husband Johnny Depp in 2022, Amber has been savoring a quieter life in Spain. Once a trending topic on social media, she stepped out of the spotlight, until now. But this time, it’s not the trial that’s sparking chatter but her daughter’s unique name, Oonagh Paige, which has fans buzzing with curiosity and opinions.

Some found the name unusual, with one questioning, “She really named her child that? 😂” Another added a layer of criticism, “I feel sorry for any of her kids.” Others expressed curiosity about the practicality of the name, “How is she going through school with that name?”

While another seemed genuinely baffled, simply stating, “Oonag? [sic]” Sympathy appeared in the mix as someone commented, “Poor baby.” However, not everyone was critical, with one voice urging kindness, “Let her be…. Congratulations Amber!!!”

Positive sentiments also surfaced, with heartfelt comments like, “Oonagh ♥️” and another user saying, “Happy for her.” Finally, one admirer celebrated the choice, “What a beautiful name.”

Amber Heard seems to have found her personal paradise in Spain. She’s embraced a peaceful life while raising Oonagh far from the Hollywood spotlight, and fans are loving it.

The defamation trial, which pushed Amber and Johnny into the public eye, with their relationship being scrutinized under a microscope, ultimately ended in Johnny’s favor. It also marked a turning point for Amber.

After the courtroom drama, the actress started a new chapter in Spain with her daughter, finding the peace she longed for. In September 2024, the actress was spotted strolling through the picturesque streets of Madrid with her three-year-old, who couldn’t help but savor a cookie as they walked side by side.

Amber, known for her laid-back yet chic style, didn’t disappoint. She sported a breezy sky-blue top, perfectly paired with a figure-flattering beige pencil skirt. To complete the look, she opted for brown flat sandals and a matching handbag—proving once again that elegance is her signature.

As for her hair, Amber let her loose waves cascade naturally. On the other hand, her daughter charmed onlookers in an adorable light-colored dress, her hair styled in a cute pussycat look.

This mother-daughter outing didn’t go unnoticed as fans quickly took to social media to express their admiration for the star’s simple yet stunning appearance.

One admirer couldn’t help but rave, “She’s the most effortlessly stylish woman I’ve ever seen! And I love that she found in Madrid the kind of city she and her daughter could just walk through without worry.” The same fan added, “The people are very respectful there and have values.”

Another commenter praised her appearance. The person wrote, “She looks gorgeous,” while tagging the post with the hashtag, “#IStandWithAmberHeard.”

Echoing these sentiments, a third fan shared, “Glad to hear she is in peace now and that the past [is past]. She looks happy and contented with her daughter, and being a good mom is what matters most now.” It seems Oonagh even had her own fan club forming, with one person writing, “Her little girl is so cute,” and another simply reacting with, “OMG.”

Interestingly, during this period, Amber and Johnny found themselves in the same country, separated by just five hours. Johnny had touched down in Spain to attend the world premiere of his new film “Modi” at the San Sebastian Film Festival.

The 61-year-old actor was seen greeting fans at his hotel on Spain’s northern coast on September 23, 2024. This was the same day Amber was spotted enjoying time with her daughter. The actress, who moved to Mallorca in late 2022 before relocating to Madrid, was asked how she felt about her ex being so close.

Her response was brief: “I’m living here in Madrid, I love Spain. I’m very lucky to be here, and regarding my past, I don’t feel like thinking or talking about it, because I’m happy and in peace.”

Johnny, when asked about his own life, also had something to say. Even though he didn’t mention names, he seemed to reference his former relationship with Amber.

“Each [character] has their story because I’m sure we can say that I’ve been through a number of things here and there… Maybe yours didn’t turn into a soap opera. I mean, literally, televised,” he commented, referencing his highly publicized trial with Amber.

The former couple’s coincidental timing in Spain sparked reactions from netizens. One person remarked, “It will end badly for Johnny.” Another took the opportunity to compare their appearances, saying, “Look at the difference [between] how beautiful and peaceful Amber Heard looks and how awful Johnny Depp looks.”

Both actors appear to be moving forward on different paths as they navigate their post-trial lives. In April, Amber marked her 38th birthday in a stylish and celebratory way.

She treated her followers to a glimpse of the occasion, sharing a photo on Instagram. Accompanying the image, she captioned it, “Champagne kind of birthday,” adding a touch of elegance to her celebration.

This post marked a rare public appearance for Amber, who was stylishly dressed in a gold outfit, seated against a backdrop of extensive wine displays. The image elicited a range of reactions online.

The post was shared on Facebook and one user remarked, “Those cheek implants though,” while another commented on her relocation, “She upgraded by moving to Europe, good for her.” A third admirer noted, “Well, she looks better than she did at trial.”

Beyond the virtual exchanges, Amber’s birthday celebration included receiving a gift and being serenaded by a mariachi band. Amid the occasion, some social media users urged others to stop criticizing Amber, highlighting her efforts to move past previous controversies.

A netizen defended Amber, stating, “Leave her alone.” Another noted that Amber has “literally changed” herself, adding, “Can we just let her live her life?” One user remarked, “Imagine having to leave your country to start over and still being made fun of. I wish her the best, some people stories are worse it’s just not aired for millions to see.”

Amber is reportedly happily settled in Spain. A friend of the actress in May 2023 said she was “happy there, raising her daughter away from all the noise.”

The friend also noted that while Amber was not eager to return to the Hollywood scene immediately, “she will probably come back when the time is right for the right project.” Amber’s last known films were “In the Fire” and “Aquaman 2.”

As Amber has moved on with her life in Spain, her ex-husband Johnny has also moved on. Sources previously stated that Johnny feels “lucky” to see his ex-wife doing better a year after their trial.

Amber and Johnny faced off in a widely publicized defamation trial in 2022, which resulted in Johnny being awarded $15 million in damages, although Amber also won $2 million from her counter-claim. The duo tied the knot in 2015, but Amber filed for divorce the following year, which was finalized in 2017.
