Parents decide to call their son “Covid”

Like no other first name. Argentinian parents have chosen to call their son “Covid”. And they have a very specific explanation.

Are you planning a child and not sure what to name it yet? Perhaps you can take inspiration from this Argentinian couple who gave their son the first name of “Ciro Covid”. Yes, “Covid”, you read that right. A first name that was not assigned at random. As Le Parisien points out, this family chose this first name because the baby was born in difficult conditions (by cesarean section, at the end of April).

His grandmother explains in more detail the choice of this first name: “They (the parents, editor’s note) said that their child would become famous because he was born at a difficult time for everyone, and that would make him a strong little man! ”. Before adding “His name made our hearts vibrate”.

But unfortunately for the family, the first name “Covid” did not satisfy everyone. In Argentina, this choice even caused a real scandal, prompting the hospital where the baby was born to intervene. And of course, they didn’t like it either. “I am very sad that this has happened, and even more so in our hospital. I think it is a total disrespect for the thousands of people who have died from this virus, ”said an employee of the establishment. in El Litoral.

For his part, Leandro Bonzini, Deputy Medical Director of the Regional Hospital of Ceres, said: “This name is a desire of parents and we, as an institution, cannot refuse it”. This is not the first time that parents have decided, since the start of the epidemic, to give a first name linked to the virus. In India, a family decided to call their twins “Corona” and “Covid”. Individuals, right?
