Darren Criss is no stranger to the spotlight, but this time, it’s not his performance that’s stealing the show.
It’s the name of his newborn son that’s causing an uproar across social media.
Criss announced the happy news on Instagram, sharing a photo of his new bundle of joy.
 “M & D just delivered their follow-up single,” he wrote in the caption.
“Brother Laszlo Criss, 6/3/24.”
Congratulations poured in from fans and fellow celebrities alike.
“Yeeeeesssss! So happy for your growing family!! Love you all!” wrote Matthew Morrison, known for his role as Will Schuester on *Glee*.
“Congratulations!” added Kevin McHale, who played Artie Abrams on the same show.
“That baby is already cooler than I’ll ever be,” said one enthusiastic fan.
However, the warm wishes were quickly overshadowed by a wave of criticism over the baby’s name.
“I feel so bad for this child,” one person bluntly commented. “I would change it as soon as I could.”
“Darren … I adore you … But you just doomed your kid to mockery for the rest of his life,” stated another.
 “What the hell is up with celebs choosing such ridiculous names?” wondered a perplexed fan.
“WTF is that name,” grumbled another.
 **(Backstory)** Darren Criss and his wife Mia Swier have always marched to the beat of their own drum.
Their love story began in the early 2010s when Criss was still riding high on the success of *Glee*.
The couple’s wedding in 2019 was a star-studded affair, blending glamour and whimsy, much like their personal style.
Their first child, Bluesy Belle Criss, born in 2022, already turned heads with her unique name.
 Known for their creative expressions and artistic backgrounds, Darren and Mia often infuse their personal lives with a touch of the extraordinary.
The couple’s penchant for the unconventional is now center stage with the birth of their son, Brother Laszlo Criss.
 Back on social media, the criticism didn’t stop.
“If you have to explain their name is ‘Brother’, then a different name should be picked,” wrote another user.
 “Darren, my love, my world, my Pookie Bookie Bear… you did not just name your child BROTHER?” joked a follower.
 Other commenters pointed out practical concerns.
“The future girlfriend/boyfriend is gonna be calling him brother,” noted one.
“It’s going to lead to so much confusion in his life. Poor kid,” added another.
 “Imagine applying for a visa and being rejected like, you were supposed to state your name and not your brother’s. How was this approved?” questioned a baffled fan.
 The story quickly spread across the internet.
“Darren Criss’ new baby name is a crime,” declared one Reddit user.
 “I read that and I was like ‘oh! László’s a nice name, and somehow it even goes well with Bluesy,’ and then I got to the end and realized what they had done to that poor child. Way to let the whole world know that you prefer your daughter.”
“‘Brother’ Criss sounds like a cult leader or a bad 90s band. I really hope they end up rethinking this one,” another agreed.
 “I know, I was like ‘oh, Laszlo, interesting choice but kinda cool’ and then I got to the end and was HORRIFIED.”
 Some fans speculated if the couple was inspired by a particular movie.
“Did you name your kids after *The Blues Brothers*, just in a super literal way?” asked one follower.
 Despite the backlash, Darren and Mia have yet to respond to the criticism.
They’ve always maintained a playful and carefree approach to public opinion.
In past interviews, Darren has mentioned how much he values creative freedom.
 Naming his children seems to be an extension of that philosophy.
But the controversy has sparked a broader conversation.
 Are celebrity baby names getting too outrageous?
 What impact might these unconventional names have on the children as they grow up?
While some argue it’s a personal choice and a form of self-expression, others worry about the potential consequences.
 For now, the Criss family is basking in the joy of their newest member.
And the world watches closely, waiting to see if they will address the name debate.
One thing is certain: Brother Laszlo Criss has made quite an entrance, and the buzz isn’t dying down anytime soon.
