The baby boy born on January 1 to Jessica Killian and Randy “Earl” Sain of Gaston County, North Carolina, was unique in several ways:
- He was the first baby born in the county in 2019,
- He was born in the passenger seat of a Chevrolet Cruze (that was cruising toward the hospital at the time), and
- His name is Atom Bomb Sain.
Why “Atom Bomb”? Because the baby’s nickname in utero was “A Bomb,” and the couple ended up “decid[ing] that if the child was a boy, he would be named Atom Bomb.” The mother later confirmed that the baby “really did come out like a bomb.”
That fact aside…”Atom Bomb”?
I can understand why a modern parent might prefer Atom to Adam. But the middle name “Bomb”? That takes the combo to a whole new level. (The pairing is weirdly on-trend, though, given the rise of weaponry baby names like Cannon, Gunner, Pistol, Shooter, Trigger, Rocket, Arrow, etc.)
What are your thoughts on this one?

The mother was apparently arrested three weeks on suspicion of intent to deliver meth, according to the Augusta Chronicle.
hmm
Considering the Barbenheimer phenomenon, it’s an interesting time for a person to be named Atom Bomb! He’s almost school age now.
Good point, Elizabeth. :)
