Correct. I couldn't think of the name, but generally in the hospital and they just ask at birth.

Cool cool, yeah.

And just to be 100% clear here, the blood sucking thing–to my understanding–is not even close to a common practice among Jewish folks. We’re talking only orthodox and possibly even only ultra-orthodox.

Oh, and you might have been looking for the word “rabbi”.

It's actually "mohel", but I'd assume (without any reason) that all or most mohels are rabbis I guess, but there's also mohelets, female mohels, and those probably aren't rabbis so. Some overlap probably between "mohel" and "rabbi", but different things.
