Is it factual that the newborn infant was named "Chat Yipiti" by the new parents?
In a recent turn of events, the National Civil Registry of Colombia has officially denied the existence of a birth registration under the name "Chat Yipiti" in the country, following widespread media reports suggesting otherwise.
The controversy began in mid-August 2025, when several news and social media outlets claimed that a baby in Cereté, Colombia, was registered with the name "Chat Yipiti Bastidas Guerra." The name, inspired phonetically by the popular AI tool, ChatGPT, was meant to symbolize the digital era.
This sparked a nationwide debate in Colombia and online about naming children after technology and the limits of parental freedom in naming. However, the National Registry of Colombia has publicly refuted these claims, stating that no such name appeared in their databases as of late August 2025.
The Registry's denial indicates that the story was either false, a rumor, or misinformation, despite broad media coverage. The statement was made after reviewing all the records of the Notary Office of Cereté Córdoba and not finding the registration with the name "Chat Yipiti."
The controversy regarding the baby's name "Chat Yipiti" continues on various social media platforms, with the news about the unique name generating divided opinions and a wave of comments. The baby's name, "Chat Yipiti Bastidas Guerra," has been reported in an article titled "From AI to real life; baby receives the name Chat Yipiti."
It is important to note that the name "Chat Yipiti Bastidas Guerra" is not a common name in Colombia or internationally. The name, a reference to the popular AI tool, ChatGPT, is still not a common name in the country.
The National Civil Registry of Colombia issued a statement about the baby's name on August 19, 2025, through their official X account. The statement affirms that there is no record of a birth registration under the name "Chat Yipiti" in any registry office in Colombia.
Despite the official denial, the news about the baby's name has been reported by both local and foreign media, adding to the ongoing discussion about the limits of parental freedom in naming and the impact of technology on our daily lives.
