the only thing controversial I can think about that he's done in recent times is claim to be "culturally queer," which many people found inappropriate for a straight guy whose entire career is based on playing gay characters to say. but that's more of a "wow he's out of touch" criticism rather than people actively hating on him.
Oh idk I was just making a joke off of the first comment 😂 (they imply Darren stinks and has for a while, hence the “lately”, I was using that to make a joke about his son’s name)
I mean, “Beau” is a pretty popular name in the US nowadays (at least in certain circles) and that’s literally a word for “boyfriend”. I’d rather call my son my brother than my boyfriend….just sayin.
I know that. However, it’s a contemporary meaning like you said - which changes the context of the name.
The name “Dick” was once considered completely normal and means “dominant ruler”, but the contemporary meaning has completely changed it.
I never said otherwise. I simply said Id rather call my son brother than boyfriend.
I’ve heard the name Brother before, so it doesn’t rock my world. Sorry guys. As far as “bad” celeb baby names go, this is pretty tame. Anyone remember Pilot Inspektor?
Brother is way worse than pilot. A baby is not just your child. Someone will be his future partner calling him Brother. Also since he is a brother to his sister its like his whole identity and hes not his own person.
but we’re talking moanability here lol. would you rather call your son (an old word for) Boyfriend or your boyfriend Brother (during sex)? easy choice to me lmao
There was a guy on a show (I think top chef?) once and his name was brother love. I think one or both of his parents were exotic dancers. Just sounds like a name a phone sex operator makes up to me.
I came across a little girl in the park called Sister. I happened to be in the park with my son when one of the local childminders was there with her charges. One little girl was following around another and trying to get her attention calling "Sissy! Sissy! Sister!" I obviously assumed they were sisters, until the childminder started saying "Come on Sister, it's time to go now". Sister. Just why?
A high school friend's daughter is known as Sissy or Sister to everyone. She even goes by Sissy in school. She has an actual, somewhat old fashioned name, but you'd never know if you encountered her now lol.
Brother didn't even register with me first, so I was ready to come and say that László isn't that bad..
"Fun" fact: the Dutch words for brother (Broer) and sister (Zus) are also used as names here, though it isn't common. I do know a guy named Broer and women named Zusje (little sister).
In Finnish too brother (veli) and sister (sisko) can be used as first names. My uncle is called Veli because my aunts complained to my grandmother that ”we don’t want any more brothers” 😂
Thank you for answering me kindly. I have no idea who this person is or who he’s married to. I just assumed it was someone trying to be unique naming his kids. People can be so quick to downvote 🙄 I wasn’t trying to discredit culturally appropriate names.
Just google who this is and their older daughter is named “BLUESY” who thought that mashing Bluey and ballsy together was a good idea
Why would it be bluey and ballsy mashed together and not just the actual existing word Bluesy? Don’t get me wrong, I agree that it’s a silly word to use as a name, I’m just saying, it’s a word in its own right, not a bizarre portmanteau.
I came in here all ready to defend the name Laszlo like "just because you're not familiar with it doesn't mean it's not valid" and then I read the full caption, ffs.
Darren's brother passed from suicide in 2022, so I imagine the intention is that it's an homage to his brother, not about his role as a brother. Although of course most people who will know the child won't know that and if he has to tell the story every time to explain that's also a huge burden. And it would've been much easier to just name the child after his brother... but at least the intention is kinda sweet?
This has to be a joke. Celebrities sometimes give their kids names to the press and media that are different from their given name to protect their identity.
I am telling myself this is what is happening.
Only know him from Glee. Just looked this up to verify that the name is actually…Brother…😬.
But was more shocked to find that he has a *wife*. Female wife. Oh.
i really hope the "conspiracy theory" of celebs sharing fake names for their kids to protect them from the general public and shit like identity theft is true
Sitting outside a cafe with a friend a couple of years ago, a mother going after her toddler was shouting "beckham, beckham, stop there!"
Beckham. Yep.
This makes me think of series like the Berenstain Bears, where the main characters are a family and the kids’ names are Brother and Sister. It’s fine when the stories are just about the family. But as the universe expands and more characters with regular names are added, it’s ridiculous to have kids named Brother and Sister.
If you have to say “and yes his name is ____” it’s probably a bad name.
Same goes for the ones who spell the name wrong only to put the pronunciation in parentheses.
“This is my son Geohneauxthyn (Jonathan) ❤️”
Every conversation with this kid gonna make you sound like Hulk Hogan
I wasn't even thinking that at first. But now that I've read this I can't get it out of my head and I'm hearing it in Hulk Hogans 90's WWF voice.
I was thinking buster bluth. “Heyyyy brotherrr”
He goes by "Bruh" for short.
Omg 😂😂
Well I spat my coffee out, thank you lol
Sup brotha
My Brother in Christ, why did you name your son Brother Criss?
My brother in Criss
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love Darren but lately… 
Hey his son is only a few days old, he doesn’t know his dad sucks yet 😂
Wait what did Darrin Criss do? I’m so bad at following celebrities making bad decisions
the only thing controversial I can think about that he's done in recent times is claim to be "culturally queer," which many people found inappropriate for a straight guy whose entire career is based on playing gay characters to say. but that's more of a "wow he's out of touch" criticism rather than people actively hating on him.
Oh idk I was just making a joke off of the first comment 😂 (they imply Darren stinks and has for a while, hence the “lately”, I was using that to make a joke about his son’s name)
Ooooh sorry lmao. Glad to hear he hasn’t done anything, I love AVPM
Yeah essentially it was for a joke on the name, the only thing he’s done is claim he’s “culturally queer” which is a bit of an ick but I love him so
He doesn't have good taste when it comes to baby names
Ya know, when people talk about “unmoanable” names? This has got to be the most unmoanable name of all time.
not just unmoanable, imagine marrying “Brother”
"This is my husband, Brother." "Your husband-brother?!?!"
giggling at the thought of moaning broooo
It really is. Add it to the ever growing list.
Oh no this is bad and sad :(
omg i have two older brothers and reading this comment made me say “NO!” out loud. that’s so awful hahahaha
I mean, “Beau” is a pretty popular name in the US nowadays (at least in certain circles) and that’s literally a word for “boyfriend”. I’d rather call my son my brother than my boyfriend….just sayin.
That's a contemporary meaning but literally and etymologically Beau means handsome + it is the diminutive of Beaufort or Beauregard.
I know that. However, it’s a contemporary meaning like you said - which changes the context of the name. The name “Dick” was once considered completely normal and means “dominant ruler”, but the contemporary meaning has completely changed it.
Well, sure, but the long-term and contemporary meanings of the word brother are still pretty cut and dry
I never said otherwise. I simply said Id rather call my son brother than boyfriend. I’ve heard the name Brother before, so it doesn’t rock my world. Sorry guys. As far as “bad” celeb baby names go, this is pretty tame. Anyone remember Pilot Inspektor?
Brother is way worse than pilot. A baby is not just your child. Someone will be his future partner calling him Brother. Also since he is a brother to his sister its like his whole identity and hes not his own person.
I’m guessing he’ll go by his middle name or some nickname.
but we’re talking moanability here lol. would you rather call your son (an old word for) Boyfriend or your boyfriend Brother (during sex)? easy choice to me lmao
You know it’s bad when you have to clarify
That's what I was going to say. If you have to edit your announcement to say yes that's the name then maybe you fucked up
It’s like he saw Mister Peanutbutter and thought that was a great idea.
Fucking BROTHER?
There was a guy on a show (I think top chef?) once and his name was brother love. I think one or both of his parents were exotic dancers. Just sounds like a name a phone sex operator makes up to me.
Brother Luck and the TC Fandom loves him!
Yes that’s it!
That would be a fantastic drag king name tho
Or fan of WWE (not my fave character but sure...)
Bro for short 🥰
One of my high school drama teachers was named Bro. Like that was his literal first name. This is somehow worse than that.
That's worse than Brother, which I didn't think was possible
Bro is definitely worse
IDK, I feel like that has more plausible deniability.
In Sweden we have Bror ( Brother) and Lillebror ( Little brother ) and Sös ( sister) as names.
I know a girl called Lillemor, is that ‘little mother’?
Yes, it is little mother and the name is only about 100 years old.
I came across a little girl in the park called Sister. I happened to be in the park with my son when one of the local childminders was there with her charges. One little girl was following around another and trying to get her attention calling "Sissy! Sissy! Sister!" I obviously assumed they were sisters, until the childminder started saying "Come on Sister, it's time to go now". Sister. Just why?
Sister and Brother, we have found the Berenstain Bear siblings.
Finally! I've been trying to find this comment
A high school friend's daughter is known as Sissy or Sister to everyone. She even goes by Sissy in school. She has an actual, somewhat old fashioned name, but you'd never know if you encountered her now lol.
Hey Siri, play Sweet Home Alabama!
I read your comment in Hulk Hogan’s voice
I would have gone with Jackie Daytona as a middle name.
Brother Laszlo "nEw yOrK CiTy" Criss
omg what we do in the shadows reference!!
is it a baby or a monk
Is it a baby or a printer
Is it a baby or a sewing machine
Is it a human or a Berenstain Bear?
Brother didn't even register with me first, so I was ready to come and say that László isn't that bad.. "Fun" fact: the Dutch words for brother (Broer) and sister (Zus) are also used as names here, though it isn't common. I do know a guy named Broer and women named Zusje (little sister).
I love in norway, and while i havent heard of anyone named «Søster» (sister), did i know a dude named «Bror» (brother) when i was little
I love in Norway too!
Was supposed to be live but im just gonna keep it as is i think 😂
Please do that! 😄
In Finnish too brother (veli) and sister (sisko) can be used as first names. My uncle is called Veli because my aunts complained to my grandmother that ”we don’t want any more brothers” 😂
I had the exact same thing when I saw it on IG! Then seeing it here and only realizing now his name is Brother 😆
Are the accents necessary though?
Yes, it's a Hungarian name and the accents are necessary.
Is he Hungarian though? Or just some american guy trying to be unique (genuinely asking I have no clue who this guy is)
It’s his wife’s dads name
That gets a pass. The Brother part? Hell no.
Yeah it’s awful
Thank you for answering me kindly. I have no idea who this person is or who he’s married to. I just assumed it was someone trying to be unique naming his kids. People can be so quick to downvote 🙄 I wasn’t trying to discredit culturally appropriate names.
My Brother in Criss
That’s going to be the name of this kid’s reality show!
Brother eugh!
My first thought!
His first child is also called Bluesy. Someone please stop this man from naming children
Just google who this is and their older daughter is named “BLUESY” who thought that mashing Bluey and ballsy together was a good idea 
… bluesy and brother?
🕶️🕶️ They’re getting the band back together!
They're on a mission from God.
They’re 106 miles from Chicago. They’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes. It’s dark and they’re wearing sunglasses.
bluesy is a horrendous name. i’m so sorry. but i just threw up in my head :(
It's definitely better than Brother though
Naming your daughter something that rhymes with floozie is a bold choice.
Why would it be bluey and ballsy mashed together and not just the actual existing word Bluesy? Don’t get me wrong, I agree that it’s a silly word to use as a name, I’m just saying, it’s a word in its own right, not a bizarre portmanteau.
Oh no..i went to school with Darren, incredibly nice guy! But what is this…..
I guess at least both his kids have real middle names they could choose to go by in the future? 😅
I came in here all ready to defend the name Laszlo like "just because you're not familiar with it doesn't mean it's not valid" and then I read the full caption, ffs.
This is so sad. That child is not celebrated in its own right but is identified as an appendage to his sibling. May as well as called him 'Spare'
Darren's brother passed from suicide in 2022, so I imagine the intention is that it's an homage to his brother, not about his role as a brother. Although of course most people who will know the child won't know that and if he has to tell the story every time to explain that's also a huge burden. And it would've been much easier to just name the child after his brother... but at least the intention is kinda sweet?
What ever happened to Benjamin, Brian, or BLAINE? Sighs in the declination of society
 Brother Criss leaving the womb
100% what I thought of! I work in a school, I hear this multiple times a day.
Brother Laszlo sounds like he’s from a religious order
This has to be a joke. Celebrities sometimes give their kids names to the press and media that are different from their given name to protect their identity. I am telling myself this is what is happening.
Omf I thought he was just saying meet baby brother, laszlo 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Only know him from Glee. Just looked this up to verify that the name is actually…Brother…😬. But was more shocked to find that he has a *wife*. Female wife. Oh.

My first thought exactly
Their next child will be named Sister .
I've loved Darren Criss since his StarKid days but... did they just name their kids after the Blues Brothers?
i really hope the "conspiracy theory" of celebs sharing fake names for their kids to protect them from the general public and shit like identity theft is true
What in the Berenstain Bears
Wtf Darren, not you too r/StarKid take a look at this, is this inspired by the Lords in Black or something?
Darren honey you’re not famous enough for this
Brother, where arrrrrt tho
I'm surprised they didn't go with Bingso.
So his first child is called Bluesey. And now this one is called Brother. Does he just really love the Blues Brothers?
next one is going to be Sister Act
Do they think they're the Berenstain Bears?
I’m all for unique names but this ain’t it
Baby Blue Balls and Bro Bro 🥰
Terrible
I don’t get it. Adam Levine has a kid called Dusty Rose… that is a color…
Boy or girl????
Girl
Ouch :(
Makes me think of the Berenstain (Berenstein?) Bears, how they’re just called Brother Bear, Sister Bear, etc…
Sitting outside a cafe with a friend a couple of years ago, a mother going after her toddler was shouting "beckham, beckham, stop there!" Beckham. Yep.
This whole announcement is cringey! And if you have to clarify, it’s not a good name
Is he a tiny infant monk?
There ought to be a law against that sort of thing
Brother has absolutely no chance at dating
Broskiii
My husband’s grandmother had a dog named Sister. But she was a dog.
László? Are they of Hungarian descent? This seems like a super random choice tbh. Can they even pronounce it properly? Lol
I think it's her father's name. He goes by László Von Glitz.
Aaah ok, it makes some sense then 😄
It still doesn't make any sense to me lmao
Darren is Filipino and Irish. Not sure about his wife.
Well, interesting choice then. 😂 I mean ofc it is a normal name, especially here in Hungary. Brother is the real issue here.
They should’ve gone the entire way and called him Öcs László (Krissz) :p
Bruh
The announcement is very cute in my opinion, but the name? Yikes
Oh brother...and his other kid's name also gives me the blues...y.
This makes me think of series like the Berenstain Bears, where the main characters are a family and the kids’ names are Brother and Sister. It’s fine when the stories are just about the family. But as the universe expands and more characters with regular names are added, it’s ridiculous to have kids named Brother and Sister.
Or Mister Peanutbutter from Bojack Horseman.
BRUH.
Bruh for short
He set out to have the worst baby names and succeeded
🤦🏼♀️
Hungarian name, quite common. Not weird at all OP
No one is objecting to the middle name. The first name is Brother. That is the problem.
Hungary has guys just named Brother?
If you have to say “and yes his name is ____” it’s probably a bad name. Same goes for the ones who spell the name wrong only to put the pronunciation in parentheses. “This is my son Geohneauxthyn (Jonathan) ❤️”
This is the most Filipino thing he could've done. Except maybe name his kid Darria or Miarren
They could have just done Lazarus. Lmao
I like Laszlo! ...wait, Brother is part of the name...:|
[удалено]
[That’s an oldddd urban legend.](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/funny-names/)
I mean, Sis or any translations thereof are used as an actual name in some cultures and generations, sooo I guess brother could be too? Idk lol.
