What If Parents Never Give Their Baby a Name

The glorious day has finally come when you can take your new baby home! But you haven’t given the hospital a name for your new bundle of joy yet. How about Barnaby? Or Dumbledore? Or not. Or perhaps you want to understand your baby’s personality better before choosing a name. What’s the worst that could happen?
Well, our name is one of the biggest parts of who we are. In some parts of the world, parents don’t choose a name for their baby: children are allowed to choose one for themselves when they’re old enough. Without a name, a child may have an undeveloped sense of self. Not having a name doesn’t just create practical issues; it could create emotional ones too.

SUMMARY:
- You might not be thinking about something like a social security card or number right after you give birth, but that card, and the number on it, are basically your baby’s identity for the government (in the U.S.).
- Most parents don’t like to think about their child driving, especially at four days old, but it really is a practical “must” for functioning independently in life.
- Your child will need a legitimate bank account as an adult to purchase a house and a car! A name and identity verification will need to be associated with their bank account.
- A passport is another official form of identification that you first need a legal name to get.
- Most hospitals will want you to name your baby within hours of delivery. There’s paperwork that the parents must fill out, which includes Baby’s new name.
- In the U.S., once your kid turns 18, they’re allowed to exercise their right to vote. But they won’t be able to without a legal name!
- The doctor’s office will have you fill out a bunch of paperwork—and they’ll want paperwork from the hospital, which would include Baby’s birth certificate.
- To enroll them in pre-school or kindergarten, you’ll need a birth certificate; this is one of the most frequently requested documents for schools to verify your child’s identity.
- Adding the name to the birth certificate once you’ve left the hospital can be an expensive and lengthy process.
- Your baby needs a name in order to add him or her to your current policy, plus other info.
- Calling a child by name and seeing whether they respond could help a parent spot potential early social and developmental issues.
