In one second I went from "Who names their baby 'Baby'?!" to "Who uses 'Baby' as a sentinel value for baby names?!" http://www.randalolson.com/2014/12/06/top-25-most-gender-neutral-names-in-the-u-s/ …

@hexapodium These are terrible placeholder names, though, because "Baby" and "Infant" are perfectly legal names
@hexapodium Situation like that, you should use a sentinel value which is not a legal name, or signal "name not yet decided" out-of-band

@qntm Absolutely. Though 'Baby Smith' + a deed poll a few days later is a good legal hack by midwives in the middle of the 20th century! -
@qntm and of course, in the UK you would have to signal out of band, as there's no restriction on what a legal name can be at all. - 2 more replies
