Louis Tomlinson [welcomed his first child last week](http://www.ew.com/article/2016/01/22/louis-tomlinson-son "undefined"), and revealed him to the world late Wednesday night on Instagram and Twitter, captioning the photo, “Meet my little lad, Freddie.” He followed up with a tweet referring to his son, with Briana Jungwirth, as “Freddie Tommo” — “Tommo” being Tomlinson’s nickname — and then thanked his fans for their messages of support. It was [previously reported by _The Sun_](http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/6883230/Louis-Tomlinson-and-Briana-Jungwirth-decide-on-name-for-baby-boy.html "undefined") that the child was named Sydney Rain, and as fans waited for official confirmation, one industrious Photoshopper[created a fake _People_ article](http://bigbrotherlouis.tumblr.com/post/137982357764/oh-my-god "undefined") that read that the baby had been named “Conchobar” — pronounced “Connor” — due to a bet he’d lost with One Direction bandmate Niall Horan. Just as “Freddie” became a trending topic mere minutes after Tomlinson revealed his firstborn, “Conchobar,” too, was [a top worldwide trend on Sunday](http://bigbrotherlouis.tumblr.com/post/137991077424/justawordshaker-justawordshaker-i-cant "undefined"), proving the almighty power of the One Direction fandom. See Tomlinson’s tweets below, and congrats to the happy family. > [](https://twitter.com/Louis%5FTomlinson/status/692558445262802945) > [](https://twitter.com/Louis%5FTomlinson/status/692560776134037505) > [](https://twitter.com/Louis%5FTomlinson/status/692561771903713280) Soon after Tomlinson made the big reveal, Jungwirth posted a photo on Instagram taken from her hospital bed, sharing that the child’s full name is Freddie Reign, born Jan. 21.
