Additional info:

Part of the trend of using nouns as names. Often times, when parents cannot or do not make a name choice for their child, "baby" is given as the official name on the birth certificate, only to change later when a name is selected. This is such a common occurance that "Baby" is one of the 1000 most common given names in America.
