Junior ISA before baby is born

Hi, is it possible for me to set up a JISA before our baby is born? I understand a JISA has to be done in the parents name but I can't figure out if I have to wait until they are born.

Thanks

    No you will have to wait. The JISA can only be opened by a parent or guardian but it will be in the child's name and wholly owned by them.

    "Can I get one of them JISA or CTF accounts for my son or daughter?"
    "When were they born ?"
    "Maybe about nine months from Friday night if you're free for a drink after work, sweetheart"
    "Please leave now sir"
