We've got our appointment in the morning but I've gone down with upset stomach and fever. It's the last day we're supposed to do it (i.e. the 42nd day) what will happen if I call to try and postpone???

Disenchanted -
I understand they change it alphabetically every 10 years to avoid too much duplication at schools. Names are agreed until 2029 according to the HMRC website

1/1/2000 - 31/12/2009 Eric Norman Smith or Sandra Anne Smith

1/1/2010 - 31/12/2019 Frederick Norman Smith or Teresa Anne Smith

1/1/2020 - 31/12/2029 Gareth Norman Smith or Ursula Anne Smith

I know someone who got an extension as they hadn't decided on names yet. I would just phone up in the morning and explain, am sure it will be fine.

They don't do anything. Just send you a reminder letter in a few weeks. Mum is a registrar, asked her when she registered dd. Loving sandra ....smith.

They are MY childrens names!

Ok, I've googled and can't find anything on it, apart from a possible fine and not being able to claim benefits??

Who picked those names anyway??

They automatically call the baby Eric Norman Smith or Sandra Anne Smith depending on the sex.
