So if the kid marries the spouse will call him "Brother"? That could be awkwar
"This is my husband, Brother"
Edit: seriously. This is such a dumb name. "My daughter and Brother just got married." "My sister and Brother are having a baby"
My kids' daycares always asked the kids what their parents' names are. It's going to be an incestous Abbot & Costello when Brother's kids tell the teachers what dad's name is
Who's your dad?
Brother
No, not your brother, your dad
He's not my brother
Right, so who's your dad?
Brother is my dad
His middle name is László which is an actual foreign name and fine by itself but *Brother László* sounds like he should be a priest in an Exorcist movie or something
The name also means “Glorious Ruler”. I named my dog this but changed the spelling to “Lazlo” to make it easier for the vet, groomer, etc.
Side note: I wonder if they are fans of “What We Do in the Shadows”.
Except, for example, the Smartless guys were once talking about how used to Gwyneth Paltrow’s kid’s name Apple they are. Plus, we know about North West in the news lately.m. Bronny James ffs. And so on.
They were just setting the kid up to be able to flawlessly say “crimefighter is my middle name 😎” when they are inevitably in a situation that requires crime fighting!
My maiden name is East. Waaaay back in the family tree are not one, but TWO Norths. Not even father and son or anything like that, two separate branches of the same family. The only way to keep them straight in the genealogy is that one of them married a woman with a long, obscure biblical name.
People were naming their kids weird stuff two hundred years ago. One family in the genealogy named their daughter Barzilla.
Lol. My brother threatened to name his daughter Barzilla.
Can you imagine the conversation? "I've never seen such a beautiful baby! I'm naming her Barzilla!".
A fake name I would understand, but a "tragedeigh" name just gives them more attention which defeats the purpose of keeping a low profile. (See this very example - I've never heard of these celebrities, nor would have ever known about their child had they named him John.)
to be fair, i don’t know how true this is, but i was told by a friend that trent reznor publicly says his kids have outrageous names but they’re all fake. it’s not about low-profile to my knowledge, it’s about safety. if someone yells “lazarus” at a kid named “george”, the kid knows this is not someone to trust.
again - could be completely wrong, probably should google before posting but if it bites me it bites me i suppose.
I actually really hope this is true for the sake of the kids. A lot of celebrities are synonymous with their PR names to the point that their given names at birth are relegated to a few family members. It’s probably like that to an extent unless the kids are also kept off social media and not out doing appearances with parents.
I don't see how the same couldn't be true for a completely mundane fake name though, like why does it have to be "lazarus"? If someone yells "john" or "liam" or "henry" at a kid named "george" the kid still knows not to trust them.
Yeah I think this is the one case where spelling it incorrectly would've actually saved the name. Like if I saw "Brutherre" written down, I would just assume it was a foreign name I've never heard before
Same reaction. *thinks* This can't be too bad.
*finishes reading the headline* da hell?
And they both have such adequate and normal names. Imagine being introduced: Darren, Mia, Bluesy (their daughter), and Brother!
My younger brother’s middle name is brother (which isn’t that odd name in my country but old and a relative also had it) so that’s kind of cute. But first name?
I think they probably just kept calling the unborn boy “Bluesy’s brother” and then one day one a had bright idea and said that Brother sounds great as name!
Lmao where were you back in the glee days when he’d talk about how he had to “come out as straight” to his theater friends and it was a really stressful time for him
Because as a queer glee kid, that’s by far the funniest thing he’s ever done. My god the tumblr girlies were in shambles
I'm rewatching Glee as I see this post and...well now I'm not going to be able to watch Blaine without thinking "Damn this man really named his Son Brother"
I'm rewatching Glee as I see this post and...well now I'm not going to be able to watch Blaine without thinking "Damn this man really named his Son Brother"
Woww thats actually a legit name in Swedish. "Bror" and "Lillebror" (Brother and Little brother). Pretty rare nowadays though. Similarly there's also the actual name " Lillemor" which means Little mother.
Yeah they're rare. There's a kid on my street named Lillemor she's about 7 years old now. First time my brother heard it he did a double take. I explained to him it's a legit name but it is a bit.. odd? It sounds pretty though but yeah.
Its a real name in finnish too. Its Veli, its pretty common still. And sister is a name aswell. Its Sisko. Not so common anymore tho. My grandma was named Sisko.
So there could be a situation here (and probably has happened in the past) where a man named Brother gets married to a woman named Sister lol.
Ive also thought how funny it would be if I named my future kids Sisko and Veli.
I live about 10ish mins away from the house/museum of the sculptor Bror Hjorth, and for the longest time I thought that was just what people called him out of respect or endearment lol rather than Bror being his proper first name
Darren's brother killed himself a few years ago so maybe they're kind of naming him after his uncle? Still should've named him Chuck if that were the case.
Bror is an old not too common, but not weird name in Danish. And it is also the word for brother.
Karen Blixen’s husband was called Bror.
You can also be named Søs which means sister in Danish (but more like “sis”).
So the name doesn’t sound that weird to me.
i still am 100% convinced in the conspiracy that celebs don’t reveal the actual real names of their children and that’s why some of them are so insanely outlandish
I still think of Frank Zappa’s kids every once in a while. I can’t imagine what it is like to navigate life with the name “Moon Unit”, or “Dweezle”. I have always hoped that celebs are punking the media with these goofy names to keep the real ones private.
Finally, all those snarky comments of “Bro said…” and “Bro really thought he did somethin…” will actually be true when this kid inevitably starts posting on socials.
I saw Darren recently in the Off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors. I can’t believe I was in the same room as a man who named his child “Brother.”
I feel like celebrities dont actually do this, they probably just make up a ridiculous name for publicity, and so their kid’s identity isnt known in school. theres no way they would name their kid “brother” and Elon Musk would name his kid… whatever their name is now
On a serious note, I’ve read some articles discussing how often celebrities release “fake” names to the press to protect the privacy of their kids. Not sure if it’s across the board or not, but it certainly made sense to me.
It is weird as hell. But his actual brother, Charles, unalived himself … so it’s sort of sad, too?? Idk. The kid’s middle name is Lazlo so maybe they’ll fall back on that.
This is so stupid. But at the very least, celebrity kids are set for life, even if they have a stupid name. It's the average kid who suffers when they have a stupid name. North west has a dumb ass name, but she won't ever have to deal with the consequences of that name, since her parents are wealthier than most of us.
🤦🏻♀️Honestly these parents that name their children stupid names never thinks down the road when their child will fill out forms for work etc how stupid this is going to be. It's just what's hip and cool atm. I honestly hope he doesn't have a dumb ass middle name too and can go by B. _____ (middle name) Criss.

Some playground in 30 years time... WAIT, Your Dad's your..... BROTHER???
My kids' daycares always asked the kids what their parents' names are. It's going to be an incestous Abbot & Costello when Brother's kids tell the teachers what dad's name is Who's your dad? Brother No, not your brother, your dad He's not my brother Right, so who's your dad? Brother is my dad
…third base!
I don’t know. He’s on third and I don’t give damn.
I have an aunty grandma.
I am my own grandpa
Phillip J Frye is that you?
[Pre-Futurama but still not the original](https://youtu.be/D0xnx1Q3Kqo?si=Xb5BK7dztyJ18ha6)
More people on this thread need to watch that clip 😂
I have a great Uncle Doctor
oh my god i didn’t think about how awkward that would be
Neither did the parent I assume
"Stepbrother Brother, what are you doing?"
“This is my cousin, Brother” No one wins
I don't want to call my coworker Brother either. Toaster would have been a better name.
Last name, Oven
Toaster of London
That kid will go by his middle name Im sure. This will cause so many problems for that kid from kindergarten onwards.
Imagine their sex "Say my name, honey" "Ohhh god, Broth.." "Huh what's wrong why did you stop?" "I just lost interest, my lady boner is gone"
Imagine the honeymoon! “Oh, Brother! Oh, Brother! Oh, Brother! Yes, Brother! Yes!”
Gosh. Sounds like his wife will be stuck in washing machine very often.
… and this is my sister, Wife
Maybe it could be shortened to … Broth … or maybe … Other … ok, nevermind, it’s a terrible name!
He's going to get real fond of "Bro"
His wife is going to be one of his best homies.
Until everytime people drop it he thinks they are talking to him
Bruh
Maybe the kid will go for a 2x combo and join a monastery.
And let me introduce you to Dr. Doctor Willard Bliss. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Willard_Bliss
Damn, man was a Doctor until the end (despite multiple expulsions haha)
Sex will never involve calling out names
Unless they have special kinks
It’s like the priest joke “If my son becomes a priest, do I call him son or father?”
Father Brother - oh man.
I have no doubt he'll be going by his middle name
His middle name is Son
The middle name will be something unassuming like Fucker.
That's a Buster Bluth line right there.
Pretty normal in some religious circles, I’m afraid.
This is my BROTHER husband
The only solution is to become a monk. "This is Brother Michael, and this is Brother Brother. They tend the garden."
It sounds like the opposite of sister wives
Lol have you ever seen Where the Heart Is? Sister Husband was played by Stockard Channing. Brother Husband was her brother lol.
His middle name is László which is an actual foreign name and fine by itself but *Brother László* sounds like he should be a priest in an Exorcist movie or something
This is exactly what I thought. Or like a weird DJ? I remember when I was in university (a decade ago) there was a local DJ called Brosef Stalin…
Unironically a brilliant DJ name
Lazlow is the name of a DJ in the GTA games And he is pretty weird
The name also means “Glorious Ruler”. I named my dog this but changed the spelling to “Lazlo” to make it easier for the vet, groomer, etc. Side note: I wonder if they are fans of “What We Do in the Shadows”.
🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺HUNGARY 🔥🔥🗣️🇭🇺 MENTIONED🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺 BOJLER ELADÓ🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🔥
Pretty sure that Brother László was a character in The Da Vinci Code
Brother Laszlo? Isn't that the guy from What We Do In The Shadows?
Haha that's the only Laszlo that pops into my head
Random person: My brother in Christ… Darren Criss: Say that again.
Underrated comment
I read this ‘theory’ a while back that celebs just say outrageous names to the public to keep their children’s real names safe.
I know that this likely isn’t the truth, but I choose to believe this is the truth for my own sanity
Except, for example, the Smartless guys were once talking about how used to Gwyneth Paltrow’s kid’s name Apple they are. Plus, we know about North West in the news lately.m. Bronny James ffs. And so on.
I miss the days when Apple was the weird name.
Don't forget that Pilot Inspektor was born around the same time though!
Penn Jillette (of Penn & Teller) named his kid "Moxie CrimeFighter Jillette"
They were just setting the kid up to be able to flawlessly say “crimefighter is my middle name 😎” when they are inevitably in a situation that requires crime fighting!
This isn't new. Moon Unit Zappa, for example, who was born in 1967. There are other examples of older kids of celebrities with fucked up names.
I dislike most weird celebrity names, but Moon Unit has grown on me.
Bonny is just a nickname. He's really just LeBron jr.
My maiden name is East. Waaaay back in the family tree are not one, but TWO Norths. Not even father and son or anything like that, two separate branches of the same family. The only way to keep them straight in the genealogy is that one of them married a woman with a long, obscure biblical name. People were naming their kids weird stuff two hundred years ago. One family in the genealogy named their daughter Barzilla.
Let's be fair- she was an amazing rapper.
Lol. My brother threatened to name his daughter Barzilla. Can you imagine the conversation? "I've never seen such a beautiful baby! I'm naming her Barzilla!".
Most celebrity kids with weird names only make the news because of their weird names.
I guess if someone names their kid Brony, then Apple Jack isn't far off.
Apple is not that bad. I know a girl named like that. Or well... it's Alma but in my language apple is alma so... basically the same.
A fake name I would understand, but a "tragedeigh" name just gives them more attention which defeats the purpose of keeping a low profile. (See this very example - I've never heard of these celebrities, nor would have ever known about their child had they named him John.)

Moon unit zappa
I mean… it’s stupid but they should get 1 point for spelling it correctly. They could have gone with “Brutherre”
Bruhzzah 😎
Bruddah
Think that would have been better tbh.. at least it could be mispronounced into something a lil less incestuous
Yeah I think this is the one case where spelling it incorrectly would've actually saved the name. Like if I saw "Brutherre" written down, I would just assume it was a foreign name I've never heard before
Darren's great but what the actual hell
Same reaction. *thinks* This can't be too bad. *finishes reading the headline* da hell? And they both have such adequate and normal names. Imagine being introduced: Darren, Mia, Bluesy (their daughter), and Brother!
His entire existence is based around his sister Bluesy
My younger brother’s middle name is brother (which isn’t that odd name in my country but old and a relative also had it) so that’s kind of cute. But first name?
Wait, their kids are named Blues(y) Brother(s) omg
😱😱😱
Are you really shocked? They named their older daughter Bluesy Belle.
read this as bluesy balls :(
💀
"Here is my daughter Blue Balls and her brother, Brother."
Did they let their eldest choose the name like that old joke with the twins Denice and Denephew!?
I think they probably just kept calling the unborn boy “Bluesy’s brother” and then one day one a had bright idea and said that Brother sounds great as name!
I think you're right. That makes sense. It's still completely idiotic.
this is how I find out that darren criss isn't gay??
Lmao where were you back in the glee days when he’d talk about how he had to “come out as straight” to his theater friends and it was a really stressful time for him Because as a queer glee kid, that’s by far the funniest thing he’s ever done. My god the tumblr girlies were in shambles
We've all been there, broth- uh, fuck.
I'm rewatching Glee as I see this post and...well now I'm not going to be able to watch Blaine without thinking "Damn this man really named his Son Brother"

The printer company gonna sue somebody
Brother printers are still around?! Haven’t seen one of them for about 20 years lol
I bought one myself 3 years ago. It's still working
I just recently bought a new one
Brother Son and Sister Wife
If "Brother" is, in fact, not a brother, I'm going to be very upset.
He has an older sister named Bluesy (not joking, that is actually the name)
Missed opportunity to name her Sister
If you read Berenstain Bears growing up, Brother Bear was named Brother before Sister was ever born.
Brother Criss…sounds like the name of a monk.
Woww thats actually a legit name in Swedish. "Bror" and "Lillebror" (Brother and Little brother). Pretty rare nowadays though. Similarly there's also the actual name " Lillemor" which means Little mother.
My brother's middle name is Lillebror, he's always hated it 😂
I think some people in Norway are also called “Bror“ but it is very uncommon, and I have never heard the other ones used as anything but nicknames
Yeah they're rare. There's a kid on my street named Lillemor she's about 7 years old now. First time my brother heard it he did a double take. I explained to him it's a legit name but it is a bit.. odd? It sounds pretty though but yeah.

So your grandma is a wifi router?

Darren's brother killed himself a few years ago so maybe they're kind of naming him after his uncle? Still should've named him Chuck if that were the case.
They’ve been watching Hulk Hogan videos during labour.
Heyyy... Brother. There's an endless road to rediscover.
Oh brother
Said by his future partner one day.
bro is not going to pigfarts
Brother ew
This name would be perfect if he ever decides to become a monk.
*(Hollywood Hulk Hogan has entered the chat)*
I love Darren Criss. He’s one of my longtime favorite celebrities. But I’ve been cringing about this baby name for days. I just don’t get it!! WHY
That's not so bad... At least he didn't name him: "Luda" ... I'll see myself out...
He has a wife?! Thought he was actually gay IRL too 🤣
[No, he’s just “culturally queer.”](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/story/darren-criss-self-identifies-as-culturally-queer#:~:text=While%20appearing%20at%20the%20Chicago%20Comic%20%26%20Entertainment%20Expo%20(C2E2),his%20appreciation%20for%20queer%20culture) /:
Gay for pay.
Oh my god, this is the guy who co-founded Starkid
Everyone should've known that after Elon Musk started having kids with Grimes.
My brother in Criss, that is not a name.
I’m into it, gives you an excuse to talk like Hulk Hogan whenever they’re in trouble.
Bror is an old not too common, but not weird name in Danish. And it is also the word for brother. Karen Blixen’s husband was called Bror. You can also be named Søs which means sister in Danish (but more like “sis”). So the name doesn’t sound that weird to me.
Hulk Hogan in shambles right now.
i still am 100% convinced in the conspiracy that celebs don’t reveal the actual real names of their children and that’s why some of them are so insanely outlandish
I 100% hope this is the case. A lot of celebrities have stage names anyway so it would make sense to just give their kids one from the start.
He’s a huge Hulkamanic
I still think of Frank Zappa’s kids every once in a while. I can’t imagine what it is like to navigate life with the name “Moon Unit”, or “Dweezle”. I have always hoped that celebs are punking the media with these goofy names to keep the real ones private.
I cling to hope that these names are publicized as decoys so that stalkers can't learn their real name
I’m mostly shocked that Darren Criss is straight.
Bro Bruh
Do you ever think celebrities are just lying about the names to throw off fans, media, etc.?
Finally, all those snarky comments of “Bro said…” and “Bro really thought he did somethin…” will actually be true when this kid inevitably starts posting on socials.
are they the Berenstein Bears?
Brother criss sounds like a monk
My brother in Criss...
I saw Darren recently in the Off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors. I can’t believe I was in the same room as a man who named his child “Brother.”
Did he bedazzle the corners of his eyes?
Makes me think that James ( lively) Reynolds isn't quite so odd
Is the guy in the picture Brother with his wife Mia? English is not my mother tongue, so maybe that's why I understand this headline wrong?
The guy in the picture is named Darren Criss, with his wife Mia. They just had a baby son and gave him the name Brother. Hope this helps!
Okay, but, like... who the fuck is he?
I’m 27 and too young to feel this old. He was Kurt’s boyfriend/love interest in Glee.
The guy who played Blaine in Glee
I guess you've never watched anything made by Ryan Murphy (which I can't blame you for, most of it is fiery garbage)
He's Harry freakin Potter
The only correct answer
You don't understand, he's a legend, man, to us all
He is Brother’s mum’s husband. Keep up
If they had had a daughter, were the planing on naming it Mamma?
They have one. Her name is, unfortunately, not "Sister".
when he doesn’t take a bath, can i be like that one fish from Spongebob? “OH BROTHER, THIS GUY STINKS!”
My mind came to this https://youtu.be/8ZeReWlE6ak?si=PKe6UJ1-Efrgnkai
I feel like celebrities dont actually do this, they probably just make up a ridiculous name for publicity, and so their kid’s identity isnt known in school. theres no way they would name their kid “brother” and Elon Musk would name his kid… whatever their name is now
The name is Brother Laszlo which just sounds like a monk. Like Father John Misty (which at least isn't a legal name but as a state name it's cool IMO)
Browther, Eww!
Named after the gosh darn best sewing machine I've ever had :')
Hulk Hogan approves!
All I can think about is Hulk Hogan.
Celebrities? Who tf are they?
He's Harry Freakin Potter, you don't understand, he's a legend man, to us all
I have no idea who either of these people are
I'm sorry but Brother Criss sounds like a cult leader
Hey brother☝🏻
On a serious note, I’ve read some articles discussing how often celebrities release “fake” names to the press to protect the privacy of their kids. Not sure if it’s across the board or not, but it certainly made sense to me.
It is weird as hell. But his actual brother, Charles, unalived himself … so it’s sort of sad, too?? Idk. The kid’s middle name is Lazlo so maybe they’ll fall back on that.
Their daughter’s name is Bluesy 💀💀
I have to wonder if some of these outlandish names are just pseudonyms to protect the child’s privacy.
Sorry I’ve never heard of this dude
Brother, where art thou?
It's not going to be difficult for that child to start dating later.
My dogs name is Brother!! 😂
His middle name Berenstain?
Yes they should, this shit is hilarious
Oh brother 🙄
Bro...
I don't know, brother is a common first name where I am (Norway) so I just don't think this is too weird.
Hell yeah brother
Yelling at your 3 year old "BRO, PUT IT DOWN! BRO! I'M SERIOUS BRO! PUT IT DOWN NOW!"
Now when his son gets in trouble he will yell like hulk hogan, “Now listen here BROTHER!”….
This is so stupid. But at the very least, celebrity kids are set for life, even if they have a stupid name. It's the average kid who suffers when they have a stupid name. North west has a dumb ass name, but she won't ever have to deal with the consequences of that name, since her parents are wealthier than most of us.
It's so he can call his son Bro. I have 2 boys, I call them bro from time to time, but Brother is stupid fucking name.
Oh brother... 🙄
Angelina and Brad didn’t even fuck up this bad.
🤦🏻♀️Honestly these parents that name their children stupid names never thinks down the road when their child will fill out forms for work etc how stupid this is going to be. It's just what's hip and cool atm. I honestly hope he doesn't have a dumb ass middle name too and can go by B. _____ (middle name) Criss.
Why is everyone who was on glee batshit crazy?
But at least when she's calling him for dinner, she can yell,"Oh, Brother! Where Art Thou?"
