King David’s First Son

What was the name given to the first son of King David that died as punishment for David’s actions surrounding Bath Sheba?

Didn’t see anywhere what the name was. Traditionally, names are given at the child’s circumcision. It seems from the verse that the child died right after birth. Perhaps it wasn’t given a name before it died.
