They probably will go through a number of names before they pick one. Think about before babies are born, and how often a couple changes the name they choose for a boy or girl.Most couples have to decide when the baby is born, to be on a birth certificate.
I am a bit surprised though. I'd have thought a birth certificate would have to be issued before 3 months. Can a birth certificate have no name on it?
Yes it can. when i gave birth 8 months ago, we had to go to the church office to say we had a child (all danes no matter religious views have to do that). You have to do that before the child is 2 days.
You will then get a birth certificate that says girls/boy born on ........
and then both parents names.
You have to give the baby a name before the child turns 6 months.
Hope this clears it Otherwise just ask if I should be more specific
Also in DK we have birthcertificates without the name of the baby. I think it´s now the midwife who register that a girl/boy is born. Earlier (like 4 years ago and earlier) the parents had to go to priest to tell it. I think it had to be done within 2 days after the birth.
A baby has to have a name within 6 months after the birth.
Nope you still have to go to the priest. The midwife only gives the child its social security number
