PROUD Jess Bell and Stefan Wake have had a devil of a time after naming their baby son Lucifer.
They have had to explain to family, pals and online trolls that they just took the moniker from the Netflix fantasy show.
The tot was born on New Year’s Day in a hospital delivery room No 6 before being taken with Jess to bed 6 in room 6.
But Stefan explained: “We had already chosen the name, so it was just a strange coincidence.”
Stefan, 27, from Redcar, North Yorks, said he and Jess “absolutely loved” the show, in which Lucifer, played by Tom Ellis, gets bored with hell, launches a nightclub and ends up helping police solve murders.
He said: “We want to have him christened and the vicar said she would have no problem.”
Jess added: “The name actually means ‘light bringer’ which is exactly what he has done for our lives.”
She went on: “People have told us, ‘What will it be like when he’s at school?’ And we received a bit of abuse online.
“Someone even criticised his middle name, which is Gary after my uncle who died as a child.”
The couple, who met on Halloween three years ago, have a daughter called Juliet.
