Criss and Mia Swier's romance is a real-life fairy tale.

They started dating back in 2010, well before Criss became widely known.

Swier, who works as a writer, producer, and musician, has been a constant figure in Criss's life for more than ten years.

In January 2018, after dating for nearly eight years, Criss revealed that he had proposed to Swier.

They exchanged vows on February 16, 2019, in a beautiful wedding ceremony in New Orleans, USA.

Their love story took another joyful turn with the birth of their first child. On April 11, 2022, Criss and Swier welcomed their daughter, Bluesy Belle Criss.

People have expressed surprise at Criss's decision to name his daughter "Bluesy."

"Bluesy??? Poor kid," commented one fan.

Another chimed in, saying, "Another dumb name."

However, the criticism pales in comparison to the backlash he's receiving for the name of his newborn son…

Criss shared the news on Instagram, prompting quick congratulations from fans and colleagues.

"Yeeeeesssss! So happy for your growing Family!! Love you all!" wrote Matthew Morrison, known for his role as Will Schuester on the show.

"Congratulations!" added Kevin McHale, who played Artie Abrams.

"That baby is already cooler than I'll ever be," commented a fan.

However, some were critical of the name choice.

"I feel so bad for this child," one stated bluntly. "I would change it as soon as I could."

Overall, many of Criss's fans expressed disappointment.

"Darren … I adore you … But you just doomed your kid to mockery for the rest of his life," one person remarked.

"What the hell is up with celebs choosing such ridiculous names?" wondered another.

"WTF is that name," complained another fan.

"M & D just delivered their follow-up single," Criss wrote on Instagram in his birth announcement. Brother Laszlo Criss, 6/3/24."

"Out now … and yes his first name is Brother."

"If you have to clarify that it is his name, maybe it shouldn't be his name," one follower noted in the comments section.

"If you have to explain their name is 'Brother', then a different name should be picked," agrees another.

"Darren my love, my world, my Pookie Bookie Bear… you did not just name your child BROTHER?" jokes another.

Other commenters highlighted practical concerns regarding the unconventional name.

"The future girlfriend/boyfriend is gonna be calling him brother," observed one follower.

"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?"

The news has spread widely across the internet.

"Darren Criss' new baby' name is a crime," commented 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 realised 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, laughing: "I know, I was like 'oh, Laszlo, interesting choice but kinda cool' and then I got to the end and was HORRIFIED."

One fan pondered if the couple's choice of names, Bluesy and Brother, might indicate their admiration for a specific film.

"Did you name your kids after The Blues Brothers, just in a super literal way?" the fan wondered.
