wiith numbers 4&6 we waited till the registrar wrote to us to remind us to go!
The names were then decided on the registrars steps from the whittled down shortlist after gazing carefully at the babies and asking them!;)
no.5 was decided at 2 weeks but notr announced to anyone because his sisters did a guess the name to raise £ for their school.Every day above ground is a good one

You CAN register a baby without a name, as long as a name is given withing the first 12 months I believe the birth certificate can be altered. Can always be checked up on at registry office.The "Bloodlust" Clique - Morally equal to all. Member 10
