HelpRe: BABY GIRL???
in reply to a message by Anthroponomastics
"Baby Girl/Boy Surname" is often put on hospital records if the people leave the hospital before naming the child. You are not obligated to name a baby before you leave the hospital (I think you have a week or something), so sometimes the records won't show the name. I am pretty sure that is why the name "Baby" shows up on the popularity charts occasionally.
Though I'm sure somewhere out there is a person named Baby.

Believe it or not, Boy really exists as a given name. A Frisian one, to be exact ;-)
That was off-topic, but I felt like mentioning it. Sorry...

I would freak out if I only had a week to name my baby after the birth =P
Here in Sweden we have three months to name the baby after the birth!

I didn't put any in that weren't named. The BA will just say Baby Boy or Baby Girl if they don't have a name. I think we have 10 days though.

I think its 10 days in Alberta.
3 months is a long time to go without a name!

In England I think it is more than a week, because my Aunt was at least a week naming my cousin. Three months is ages though, would you just call it "the baby" for three whole months?

I really don't know how long you have here - I would hope it's more than a week too!
