The poster has only made that one post though?

It happens every so often. I haven't kept a note of the posters; I assume they're all different. That would mean multiple posters who post about baby names place their posts on the wrong board.

It's a glitch in the matrix which is crying out for a rational explanation.

Some baby names threads are probably started by people TTC or pregnant for the first time and so have only just come to MN, read a bit and then post somewhere random because they haven’t found the right place. Even people who’ve been around a while sometimes start a thread somewhere they didn’t mean to, it’s more likely to happen with newbies.

Then it would be interesting to know if anyone's noticed baby name posts cropping up on other inappropriate boards, or if it's only in 'Arts & Crafts'.

Hello @ifIwerenotanandroid thanks for posting. We can't say we've noticed this happening a lot on Arts and crafts but we'll keep an eye out. As always, if you report we can take a look and move a thread.

Thanks! It's not a big problem; I just wondered why it's happening.
