Why does Dracula call his son Alucard instead of Adrian?

Question

In the S2 of the Netflix show, Dracula says "Alucard has entered the castle?". This surprised me given the symbolism behind the nickname. You'd think Dracula would call his son by his given name. Is there some kind of explanation or lore that I'm missing?
