Rostock's baby boom: 33 newborns bring new, rare names!

In the last week of June, a total of 33 newborn babies saw the light of day in the Südstadt Clinic Rostock, with 18 girls and 15 boys being able to contribute to the gratifying balance. Between June 23 and 30, 2025, the clinic system in Rostock, the largest maternity clinic in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, gave birth to 970 children, which signaled a small decline compared to the previous year. This development is seen in the context of the trendy change in the births in Germany, such as the statistics of the Statistical Federal Office impressively illustrate.

A special highlight among the newborn is wondering Marvie Elisabeth, who was born on June 29 at 0:04 a.m. With 2830 grams and 49 centimeters, her name, which means "the wonderful" and goes back to the Latin word for miracles, is the program. Also worth mentioning is Gesa, who saw the light of day at 9:40 a.m. on June 24, 3645 grams and 50 centimeters in size. Emil, another proud offspring, was born on June 29 at 3:38 a.m. and weighed 2900 grams with a size of 48 centimeters. Amanda Eloise, who was born on June 30th at 11:33 p.m., was particularly noteworthy and fell into the world of newborns with 2950 grams and 45 cm. Her rare name, Amanda, means "the lovable" and is not to be found in Germany so often, but is very popular in English -speaking countries.

A look at the number of births

In 2023, the Südstadt Clinic recorded around 2,197 births, a decline compared to the previous year with 2,462. A total of 2,263 children were born, including 1,082 girls and 1,181 boys. The clinic, which has carried out extensive conversions and modernizations over the past year, is based on close cooperation with the University Medical Center Rostock and innovative projects such as the Babyloten project, which has been offering a contact point since July 2022. The birth of trillingen and 64 twin couples underlines the diversity of the births in the clinic. In addition, the clinic can use intensive transport helicopters in special cases, such as a premature baby gram, to offer the best possible treatment for the little patients.

The birth rate in Germany has experienced major fluctuations in recent years. The current trend shows a decreasing birth extension among younger women and an increase in older age. These developments can be attributed to long -term social and economic changes that affect childbirth behavior. The preservation is important because for a stable population level, an average of around 2.07 children per woman have to be given to replace the generation of parents. The current birth statistical situation and its effects on society are the subject of numerous discourses and analyzes.

The responsible persons in the Südstadt Clinic are particularly enthusiastic about the introduction of an Instagram account. This makes it possible to communicate direct communication with the midwives and provides information about new offers such as baby swimming courses. In this way, the anticipation for the newborn is connected to modern means and personal address. Therefore, the next year in the clinic, which also offers information evenings for expectant parents, could be promising.
