  • 1. If a living child has not
      yet been named at the date of filing the certificate of birth, the space
      provided  for  the  given  name  of the child is to be left blank, to be
      filled out subsequently by a supplemental report, as herein provided.
        2. If a child dies without a given name, there shall be entered in the
      space provided for the name the words "died unnamed." The parents of the
      deceased child may submit a supplemental report of the given name of the
      deceased child. Such report shall be returned to the local registrar and
      the given name shall be entered on the original birth certificate.
        3. When any certificate of  birth  of  a  living  child  is  presented
      without  the statement of the given name, the local registrar shall make
      out and deliver to the parents of the child a supplemental report of the
      given name of the child, which shall be  filled  out  as  directed,  and
      returned  to  the  local  registrar as soon as the child shall have been
      named. The given name, supplied by the  supplemental  report,  shall  be
      entered on the original birth certificate.
