When Eduardo Sierra's son and his wife, Deborah, were born at Ceres City Hospital, Argentina, they were so happy that they decided to give him three names, the middle name being Corona.

The couple, who live about 170 miles from Santa Fe, explained the choice there by saying "our child was born in such a difficult and challenging time, so this name will give him strength later in life and remind him when he was born." However, it turns out that the hospital employees themselves were a little less happy with the name, and even outraged at the link between the horrible illness and the newborn baby.

One hospital employee told local media "it's a complete disrespect to the public's death and hardship against the disease. At first I thought it was a particularly sick joke, but then the hospital management confirmed it was the name given to the child. Now our city and hospital will forever be remembered in that horrible light. Really sad. "

The toddler was born last Wednesday, giving great happiness to his parents who hope the name will make him stronger and fit the challenges of the future. Who is still happy is his grandmother who said that "this is my 15 grandchildren and because of the name is going to be famous. He will be a strong little man." That's how the British Daily Star reported, following Latin American media outlets.

Meanwhile, in India, too, there are some who think Corona-related names are a good thing. A newly born Indian couple has called them both Corona and Cubid. The Pratty couple and Rama explained the choice that "these names were given to forget the great fear of the disease. That way, these twins will have an unforgettable childhood."

We are not surprised by the fact that there are people in the world calling their children by odd names, and yet, we send our sincere condolences to these children, and the bullying they will experience in their schools from other children.
