Actor Darren Criss faces mockery over his child's unique name choice.
Actor Darren Criss and his wife Mia Swier's newborn son has sparked controversy with his unique name, leaving fans scratching their heads and questioning the choice. The pair, like most celebrities, typically avoid naming their kids with unconventional numbers, but their latest addition has stirred up confusion. While their first child, a daughter, was named Bluesy, their newborn son goes by the name Brother.
Modifying the usual naming norms, Brother is the name selected for the Criss-Swier's latest addition, born on June 3, 2024. The full name: Brother Lázló Criss. Darren Criss himself announced the baby's name in an Instagram post, acknowledging the unexpectedness of the name with a simple "Yes, his name is really Brother."
One user pointed out that such an open confirmation suggests a questionable naming decision, stating "If you have to say 'yes, his name is really...' then you probably chose a bad name." Another user is already worried about the child's future, “Darren... I adore you... But you have condemned your child to be bullied for the rest of his life.”
Future partners will likely have to refer to their beloved as "Brother," as seen in the comment section's example: "Do you take Brother as your legally married husband?" Fortunately, there is still time to come up with potential nicknames beforehand.
Darren Criss and Mia Swier initially met in 2006 through mutual friends but didn't start their relationship until 2010. It took another eight years for the actor to pop the question to Swier. In April 2022, their daughter Bluesy was born, approximately two years before the arrival of Brother.
