Agree. And this is helpful to temple workers/patrons who receive the printed name slips as well. Sometimes the name slips with just a last name are confusing to some patrons. They are instructed to use Miss/Mrs/Mr as appropriate. Michele In a message dated 6/9/2009 6:17:24 A.M.

When we see "unnamed child" at our Temple, we put a note on the cards for the patron the speak with the Recorder. Just last night I found the death certificate of a baby who lived 5 hours. She was unnamed, and the system took her as "Miss Cardstensen" just fine, so it does work and is appropriate.
