“M & D just dropped their follow up single,” Chris wrote on Instagram.
“Brother Laszlo Chris, 6/3/24.
“He’s out now … and yes, his first name is Brat.”
Chris shared a cute photo of Brother wearing reflective sunglasses.
But many of the actor’s fans were confused and surprised by the unusual choice of name and didn’t hold back in saying so.
“If you have to clarify that’s his name, maybe it shouldn’t be his name,” one follower wrote in the comments section.
“If you have to explain that their name is ‘Brother’ then you should pick another name,” agreed another.
“I feel so bad for this kid,” said another bluntly.
“I would change it as soon as I could.”
“Future girlfriend/boyfriend will call him bro😭,” one follower commented.
“What the hell is it with celebrities that choose such ridiculous names?” wondered another.
Others saw no need to comment on the name choice, including some former Glee co-stars.
“Yaaaah! So happy for your growing family!! Love you all!” wrote Matthew Morrison, who plays Will Schuster on the show.
“Congratulations!” added co-star Kevin McHale, who played Artie Abrams.
“This baby is already cooler than I will ever be,” said one fan.
But overall, Chris’ fans didn’t seem impressed.
“Darren… I adore you… But you just condemned your child to ridicule for the rest of his life,” one person said.
“Darren, my love, my world, my mere bookie bear … didn’t you call your kid BROTHER?” joked another.
“WTF is that name,” muttered one fan.
“It will cause so much confusion in his life. Poor kid.
“Imagine applying for a visa and being refused, as if you had to give your name and not your brother’s.
“How was this approved?”
Brat is the couple’s second child.
Their first daughter, now two years old, was named Bluesy Belle.
The couple also used musical references when they announced they were expecting their first child.
“We’ve been making music for years,” Chris wrote at the time.
“But this time we made a BEAT.
“Best Collaboration, Dropping Spring 2022.”
When Bluesy was born, the musical references kept coming.
“M&D made sweet music,” the couple announced when their baby girl was born.
“Bluesy Belle Criss 4/11/22. Out now.
Now with two children named Bluesy and Brother, one fan wondered if the couple might not be fans of a particular hit movie from the 1980s.
“Did you name your kids after The Blues Brothers, just in a super literal way?” the fan wrote.
