Baby born after earthquake, named Katastrof Natirel (“natural disaster”)

…And here’s the second earthquake-name:

A baby boy was born in Port-au-Prince the evening after Haiti’s earthquake in January, 2010. He was named Katastrof Natirèl — “Natural Disaster.”

(This one reminded me of the similarly ominous name Krisis Mundial — “World Crisis.”)
