A horror-obsessed mum, who controversially named her son, Lucifer, is ready to celebrate her little devil’s first Halloween.
Ronni Lily, from Birmingham, shocked family and friends when she announced the unusual name for her child, with some family members even refusing to use her chosen moniker.
But the 28-year-old and her partner, Brad, pay them no mind.
They chose the divisive name for their fourth child after watching the Netflix series Lucifer.
Ronni is now excited to make sure little Lucifer is in the limelight during the spooky season.
“We are not religious so the name has no dangerous connotations for us but I am obsessed with Halloween,” Ronni told What’s The Jam.
“I make sure the house is fully decorated inside and out.
“I can’t wait to make my little devil’s first Halloween one to remember.”
Despite Halloween still being weeks away, the outfit is already ready.
She said: “I’m going to dress him up in red with tails, horns and a pitchfork, of course.
“And then take him to baby classes and Halloween parties.
“I can already imagine the look on the other mum’s faces when I tell them his real name.
“Lucifer hasn’t started nursery yet but I have no doubt that his name will raise a few eyebrows when I do register him.
“But I’m sure nursery workers have heard far worse.”
Despite its negative connotations, Lucifer actually means ‘bearer of light’ or ‘Morning Star’.
But it is more commonly known as the name of the devil and is even banned in some countries.
While the name isn’t illegal in the UK, it has caused many debates about whether it is an appropriate name for a baby.
Ronni has faced harsh comments online from trolls who call her “cruel” and claim she setting her child up to be bullied.
Despite the backlash, Ronni and Brad insist the name is perfect for their son, who was born in January this year.
The duo chose the moniker when the mum was just 16 weeks pregnant.
Ronni said: “We both loved his name from the start and still do.
“I’m not concerned his name will cause him problems at school or later in life, but he has a common middle name, Ashley, that he can use if he ever wants or needs to.”
Lucifer has three older siblings; Lola, six, Lincoln, four and Lilac, three – and they will also be joining in this Halloween.
Ronni said: “I love to dress up all the kids in costumes, the gorier the better.
“We will have a Halloween party at home and I will take the kids out trick or treating.
“All my kids love Halloween and Brad and I love to watch horror movies.
“I also love documentaries on paranormal investigations or strange activity.
“Halloween is one of my favourite times of the year.”
Despite his devilish name, Ronni said her little boy really is an angel.
She added: “He is a really cheeky chap now with such a funny personality.
“He is so close to walking and I know that’s when the trouble starts.
“He may have a devilish personality during the toddler or teenage years, but there is nothing negative about his name.
“He is our Lucifer the Legend.”
