Social media users are having a heyday after Darren Criss confirmed his son’s name.

The “Glee” alum revealed the infant’s moniker in an Instagram post after his wife, Mia Swier, gave birth to their second child earlier this month.

“M & D just delivered their follow-up single,” Criss, 37, captioned the newborn’s social media debut. “Brother László Criss 6/3/24 Out now.”

When the actor’s followers expressed doubt in the comments section, he amended the original caption to note, “… and yes his first name is Brother.”

One hater pointed out that “if you need to say ‘yes his name really is…’, chances are you picked a bad name.”

Another troll joked, “OK Berenstain Bears,” while a third said they should call the little one “Bro for short.”

Others called the name “diabolical,” with a social media user quipping, “the future girlfriend/boyfriend is gonna be calling him brother.”

Criss and Swier, 38, are also the parents of daughter Bluesy, who was born in April 2022.

The couple revealed in December of the following year that Swier was pregnant with baby No. 2, writing, “COMING SOON.”

Criss and the producer started dating in 2010, four years after meeting through mutual friends.

The Broadway star got down on one knee in January 2018.

One year later, the duo walked down the aisle in a New Orleans wedding ceremony.
