No, that's a pretty common misconception, at least according to Kristen Conger, who, hats off, wrote this one originally from House of Works.

That's right. So Conger points something out that I thought was pretty smart, that if you do leave the hospital with your baby unnamed, there's got to be a lot of pressure.

Yeah. Yes, exactly. Especially if you weren't aware you're pregnant and this was a surprise birth. You need a little time, right? Yeah. The hospital's still going to be like, we need to be able to keep up with that baby so that baby goes home with you. Right. So they might name it something like Baby Girl Smith if your name is Jane Smith.

But there was a study that was conducted, probably the most obvious study I've ever heard, That was like if you actually use something a little more specific, like say this is Jane Smith's daughter, you would name it Jane's girl Smith.

You're probably going to have fewer mix ups at the hospital, which is just alarming that anybody even needs to study that because that even happens.

Yeah. What do you think? Do you think it's a good name? It's a pretty good name, huh?

So again, it varies. Yes. I did not realize this, but the United Nations has a pretty stern stance on kids' names. In particular, in the Convention on the Rights of a Child, they said that all children have a right from birth to a name. There's an asterisk next to that. They said if you ever find yourself in a highly stressful bird box type situation, you can just name your kid boy or girl.

But other than that, that kid deserves a name.
