In Rocky II, what is Rocky and Adrian's son commonly called?

The story behind the answer

In Rocky II, Rocky and Adrian’s son is commonly called Rocky Jr. His full name is Robert “Rocky” Balboa Jr., continuing his father’s name and the Balboa family identity.

The child is born during the film after Adrian goes into labor and suffers complications, eventually falling into a coma. Rocky’s anxiety about becoming a father runs alongside the film’s boxing story, as he struggles with retirement, work, and the pressure to rematch Apollo Creed.

Rocky Jr. is sometimes referred to as Robert or Bobby in later entries, which can make the character’s name seem inconsistent. He is played by Seargeoh Stallone in Rocky II, by Ian Fried in Rocky III, and by other actors as the character ages. He later becomes an important part of Rocky’s family storyline, particularly in Rocky V and Rocky Balboa.
