    A baby's arrival is one of the brightest days of the parents' lives, and there are numerous ways to commemorate it.

    Unsurprisingly, Twitter is now brimming with hilarious reactions.

    Announcement

    The Captain's Table, a famous restaurant in Newtownabbey, Ireland, took to Facebook to share this hilarious news.

    The eatery announced that the parents, the restaurant's regular visitors, have decided to name the baby after a sought-after dish at the restaurant.

    It also shared the baby's photo and wrote, "Now this is a first...welcome to the world Pakora! We can't wait to meet you! (sic)"
