Due to a hospital mix-up, there is a baby out there with the legal name “Korn.” 

According to a series of tweets that went viral on April 23, a woman (@pkkaos) who gave birth on April 10 received the child’s birth certificate in the mail to see the mistake. Instead of the name “Kora,” as was intended, the certificate read “Korn.” 

Reads the tweet, 

“THE HOSPITAL MESSED UP MY BABYS NAME AND WE JUST GOT THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND ITS KORN MY BABYS NAME IS LEGALLY KORN

“1. The name is supposed to be Kora

“2. Yes this should be able to be easily fixed if we are fast!

“3. There is a chance they may have had me double check this but to be fair I was down a lot of blood at the time 😩😩😩

“This reached Korn fan twitter and I’m into it”

As mentioned, Korn fan Twitter got a hold of the news and decided to have a little fun with it. One user (@Shadowfaaax) made a joke comparing baby babble to frontman Jonathan Davis’ scat singing that got some traction: 

“Baby Korn: “B…”

Kells: “Omg, she’s about to say her first word”

Baby Korn: “B… -Boom na da noom na na nema

Da boom na da noom na namena”

Korn (the band) has not commented on the ordeal yet. They are currently working on the follow-up to 2019’s ‘The Nothing.’
