Your Baby’s Name Is What?!
Parents are getting creative. Here’s Limpeh’s two cents.

It’s oredi day 37 of CB and we know some of you have been very busy at home ah… if you know what Limpeh means. (Psst! Take our R21 survey here if you haven’t done yet.)

If you put the bun in the oven already and are starting to think of baby names, don’t worry Limpeh can help one.

If you put the bun in the oven already and are starting to think of baby names, don’t worry Limpeh can help one. Here is a list of 5 actual Covid-themed baby names to give you a bit of inspiration first.

1. Sanitiser

A couple in India chose to name their child after one of the most sibei precious items during this CB period.

The father of the child said, “Sanitiser is one of the best ways to protect oneself against contracting coronavirus infection.”

If this is your child’s name, every time you call them is also a reminder to keep your hands clean! Two birds kill with one stone nubbad leh.

2. Lockdown

Another couple in India named their child Lockdown to remember this “tough time” they had to endure.

Actually, Limpeh thinks this child confirm will have a tough time in school if they get bullied. But I tell you, this is also quite a powerful name.

If you one day meet a guy called Lockdown Lim and he wants to challenge you, confirm will scared right? I will run away sia!

3. Corona

Two mothers in India named their babies after the virus we want to minus. One was called Corona Kumar and the other Corona Kumari.

Their doctor said this will “help create awareness about the disease and remove the stigma around it.”

When Limpeh heard about this, I confuse. At first I thought the child is named after the beer, not the virus. But ok la, cheers to getting more people to know about what we can do to stop the spread of this virus!

4. Covid

A couple in the Philippines named their child Covid Marie as a reminder that the birth of their child is a “blessing” even though this period got a lot of suffering.

Whether this name is suitable or not, as long as your child isn’t called Covidiot then can liao.

5. X Æ A-12

This last name is very special. It has nothing to do with Covid-19 but is actually the name of Elon Musk’s newborn child.

Limpeh stare at the name so long and still don’t know how to pronounce. Apparently some people say it’s pronounced as X-Ash-A-12.

This kind of name sounds like software update or a very strong password for your computer. If you like technology or just want to confuse people, this baby name is quite good ah.

6. Bonus Names

Limpeh also see these names get ideas. I think these ones got chance to be picked:

CB X C-19:
This baby is brought to you by the circuit breaker during Covid-19.
Circuit:
Staying at home in such close proximity all day, this baby was made when the parents’ circuits got spark.
Unity:
This baby is either the eldest or only child and will grow up to be very steady one.
Resilience:
If you got a middle child coming, this will be the one that cares for others and looks after family first.
Solidarity:
This baby is likely the youngest and most cautious with spending.
WFH:
Made, when working from home.
Lawrence Teo Kim Yong:
This baby confirm tok kong — very multi-talented and task-oriented. Don’t need to force.
