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.

CHERYL Tweedy has been stalked by a convicted killer who turned up at the home she shares with her son Bear.
The singer has secretly been facing a stalking hell which has continued even after the tragic death of her former partner Liam Payne.

Daniel Bannister, who killed a man in an attack at a homeless hostel, has been convicted of causing the Girls Aloud star “serious alarm” after going to her country mansion in Buckinghamshire.
Bannister was sent to prison for manslaughter for 30 months after he attacked a man who died of his injuries in 2012.
The 49-year-old has been found to be “displaying fixated, obsessive, unwanted and repetitive behaviour” towards Cheryl which he knew would cause her distress.
He was put behind bars for four months in September for an offence in July and handed a three-year restraining order meaning he cannot contact Cheryl, enter Buckinghamshire, or attend her address.
But in December he is alleged to have returned to her house in the country she shares with seven-year-old Bear, court documents show.
Bannister, who has no fixed address, has been charged with breaching his restraining order by entering the county of Buckinghamshire on December 10.
He is then said to have turned up at “an address where you knew or believed Cheryl Tweedy was present”, which is another separate breach.
Bannister also attempted to contact Cheryl either directly or indirectly, which he was prohibited from doing.
Bannister pleaded guilty to the three offences in December and has been sent back to prison before his sentencing on January 30.
In 2012 Bannister pleaded guilty to manslaughter at Kingston Crown Court after assaulting 48-year-old Rajendra Patel at a south London YMCA shelter.
Following the alleged attack in February of that year, Mr Patel returned to hospital on March 9 and died the following day.
A post-mortem report gave the cause of death as pulmonary thromboembolism, deep vein thrombosis of the left thermeral vein, and a fracture to the left ankle.
Bannister, who was 37 at the time, was due to go on trial for murder but the Crown Prosecution Service accepted the lesser plea of manslaughter.
The two men, who both lived at the shelter, were said to have an ongoing feud at the time of the attack.

CCTV showed Bannister punching and kicking Mr Patel in the hostel as the victim went towards a lift.
Jailing Mr Bannister, his honour Judge Nicholas Price said in 2012: “This is a tragic case. When you attacked Mr Patel you did not intend to cause serious bodily harm let alone cause death.
“But the attack undoubtedly goes beyond one punch, it is a sustained attack or more or less 30 to 40 seconds.
“It is clear you are not a danger to the public, but it is inevitable that you must serve an immediate custodial sentence.”
He was sentenced to 30 months in prison on October 9 2012.
The stalker hell comes after Cheryl had to up her security when she was performing in 2:22 A Ghost Story on the West End last year.
Her team were said to be on “red alert” after she was left menacing messages with flowers outside the theatre.
Cheryl’s former partner Liam tragically died aged just 31 in Buenos Aires, Argentina after falling from his third floor hotel balcony.
At the time the Girls Aloud star said in an emotional statement, Cheryl previously said: “As I try to navigate this earth shattering event, and work through my own grief at this indescribably painful time, I’d like to kindly remind everyone that we have lost a human being.
“Liam was not only a pop star and celebrity, he was a son, a brother, an uncle, a dear friend and a father to our 7 year old son.
“A son that now has to face the reality of never seeing his father again.”
She added: “Before you leave comments or make videos, ask yourself if you would like your own child or family to read them.
“Please give Liam the little dignity he has left in the wake of his death to rest in some peace at last.”
She posted a picture on Instagram of Liam cradling their 7lb 9oz baby and captioned: “On Wednesday Liam and I became parents to an incredibly beautiful, healthy baby boy looking like a dream.”
One pal told The Sun: “Liam didn’t leave Cheryl’s side throughout the birth, and like her, he is besotted with their new son and can’t wait to take him home.
A pal told The Sun: “Cheryl and Liam worked really hard on their relationship – they had troubles earlier this year and were able to get through them.
“But they’re in different stages of their lives and, after a lot of careful thought, came to a decision that it’s best for everyone if they do go their separate ways.”
Liam and Cheryl released a statement confirming their break-up which read: “We are sad to announce that we are going our separate ways. It’s been a tough decision for us to make.
“We still have so much love for each other as a family. Bear is our world and we ask that you respect his privacy as we navigate our way through this together.”

A MUM has shared her extreme money-saving tips, but it’s her water hack that’s really turned heads.
Becky Giles, who’s all about being frugal, revealed that she loves it when it snows because it gives her free water for her family to wash in.
Becky takes pride in being a super frugal mumthefreebielady
She also bragged about how her money-saving methods helped her renovate her bathroom for just £49.
Since becoming a stay-at-home mum, Becky has found creative ways to save money as she works to renovate her family’s 100 year old house.
She now prides herself in being “the most frugal mum in America.”
Talking in a TLC documentary, she revealed that she fills up buckets “with snow to melt and use for water” as “water from the sink actually costs money.”
She adds: “The heat we use to warm the house will also be used to heat the buckets so that we can have warm water.”
Becky can take “anything in the entire world and figure out a way to get it for 80 to 90% off or even free.”
Becky, who shares two children George and Colton with her husband Jay, used to split the bill with her husband in a “very specific way” when they first started dating.
When the pair first had their son Goerge, Becky managed to save $30,000 (£24,500) to $32,000 (£25,800), which allowed her to become a full-time mum.
She says: “I’ve maintained that mindset for seven years now.”
Becky and her family have been living in their family home for two and half years but they have “no furniture” because she “only buys things if they’re cheap.”
She painted her bathroom herself with her friend, and painted the floors herself as well.
In total her bathroom cost her £49.
Showing off her bathroom, she says: “If I had paid someone to do all this, it would easily have cost $2,000 (£1,600).”
Becky explained that her dishwasher in her kitchen has been broken for “a little over a year” and some of her “cupboards don’t shut all the way.”

However, many people don’t agree with her style of living and took to YouTube to share their thoughts and they had questions to ask.
One wrote: “As a former professional organiser I taught people how to live frugally as well as getting rid of a lot of stuff not needed.
“This woman is way over the line. It’s one thing to save money but when it comes to neglect, it’s no longer safe. Is she boiling that water from the snow?

“How much does it cost to heat that huge house? Why not live in a much smaller house or tiny? Not impressed!”
A second added: “I love that she will use snow which really isn’t safe for consumption and says that water is too expensive even though her clothes look like they are expensive.”
Whilst a third said: “There’s a difference in being cheap and fixing stuff that needs fixed. Fix your cabinets and dishwasher. No reason for some of this.”

2 weeks agoNews PlusComments Off on Scrapping the BBC’s discredited ‘Verify’ would save licence-payers a fortune with no downside
Try freedom
FACEBOOK’S scrapping of its left-wing “fact-checkers” is a long overdue victory for free speech. When can we expect the BBC’s discredited “Verify” outfit to go too?
For years the social media giant skewed its content for the Left, relegating or deleting conservative posts and even colluding with the US Democrats.
Often, harmless material was censored and posters needlessly banned for wrongspeak.
But with Trump’s re-election, Mark Zuckerberg has changed his tune. Now Facebook will let users post “community notes”-style context, as on Elon Musk’s Twitter.
Musk’s instinct, to promote free speech and counter misleading material not with “checkers” prone to bias but with MORE free speech, is the right one.
No resultant prosecutions. No justice for thousands of girls whose young lives were wrecked. No nationwide probe to grasp for the first time the scale of an atrocity which may be ongoing.
Keir Starmer whipped his party to defend the indefensible.
The previous review in which he places such faith avoided the central issue: Of mostly Pakistani-origin men raping mostly white girls as a left-liberal establishment ignored it through paranoia about “Islamophobia”.
Ordinarily Labour loves public inquiries, albeit only if they will damage Tories. Even now, they are committed to one into violence between police and miners under Maggie Thatcher in 1984.
But not this one.
Which only adds insult to the vulnerable children hideously and unforgivably failed by the State’s multicultural obsessions.
Stop the hate
THE anti-Semitic, pro-Hamas, Islamist hate marchers insist they are not anti-Semitic, pro-Hamas, Islamist hate marchers.
