It’s a boy for Charlie Day and Mary Elizabeth Ellis!

The Always Sunny stars welcomed son Russell Wallace Day on Thursday, Dec. 15 in Los Angeles, they confirm to PEOPLE exclusively.

Weighing in at 7 lbs., 13 oz. and measuring 21.5 inches long, Russell arrived at 7:59 p.m.

“We are overjoyed and overwhelmed at the amount of love that ushered our baby into the world,” Day, 35, and Ellis, 32, tell PEOPLE.

Their son draws his name from the family tree — Russell comes from Ellis’s side and also honors a departed friend, while Wallace comes from Day’s.

The Horrible Bosses star and Ellis, who recently guest-starred on New Girl, married in March 2006.

What an adorable couple. Congrats to them on the baby. I loved him in Horrible Bosses although I don’t watch Sunny. Maybe I should!

Awesome! I love the show and love everything I read (which is refreshingly little) about the cast from IASIP! Congrats to their family! No doubt, should be one entertained little man!

Congratulations to Charlie and Mary on the arrival of their son!

His first and middle name makes me think of retired NASCAR driver Rusty Wallace (whose real name is Russell). I still like the name though.

Don’t like his name but at least it’s normal, esp by Hollywood standards!

Congrats 🙂

Not really a fan of the name but it is very strong and a great name for when he is an adult.

Congrats!! Sunny is one of my favorite tv shows, so crass/wrong/hilarious.

I find it so interesting that some of the funniest, most out-there comedians give their children such normal names. Jack Black has a Samuel and a Thomas. Adam Sandler has a Sadie (ok, Sunny is only kind of normal). There a couple of other examples I can’t think of off the top of my head. But, it’s just something I’ve noticed.

Anyways, congrats on the new baby!
