Last name is Baby. Can't submit for temple work.
Is there a work around when the last name of a person is one of those words that are in the don't use these words (mister, Mrs, Infant, etc). I have a line where the last name is "Baby" and family search wants more information in order to submit for temple work. It thinks that I'm using a descriptor instead of an actual name. This is a french name which in some instances devolves into Babit in later years (both are pronounced the same way.) I could use that but it would just cause problems for other researchers and duplication of temple work. It seems to me that there should be a box to tick when a prohibited word really is a name.

Can you put in Babit to reserve the name and then change it once you get it reserved? Perhaps that will allow you to reserve it and yet change the spelling once it is reserved.

@Dennis Moss , can you post the PID? If you do I am sure a MOD can help get your issue resolved. Maybe a data Admin will need to look at it for a more enduring fix for that PID?

You are not alone ...
Short Answer: 'Yes', you are correct, the problem/issue, regarding "Temple" Work relates to that word.
Specifically, the particular "Word" of "Baby", in the 'Family Name' / 'Surname' Field.
And, CURRENTLY, 'Yes', one must "Request", that each individual/person, be "Checked", in each and very case
As proffered in the aforementioned "Knowledge Article" in 'FamilySearch':
What words and abbreviations cause "Needs more information" to appear?
And, remember, that list of "Words" (and "Abbreviations") is non-exhaustive, there are others.
Unfortunately ...
There are certain "Words", when used in the "Name" Field, of an individual/person, in "Family Tree", of 'FamilySearch', that evoke the, "Needs More Information"; and, contact 'FamilySearch', for "Temple" Work.
Individuals/Persons, in "Family Tree", of 'FamilySearch', whose "Name" Field, contains these certain "Words", need to be investigated by 'FamilySearch', prior to "Temple" Work being undertaken, to ensure that these certain "Words" are actually part of the individual's/person's "Name", rather than the contextual use of the "Words".
FYI
Again ...
You are not alone ...
Plus ...
There matter was also raised recently as an "Idea" (ie. 'Feedback'):
Automate unblocking temple work for valid surnames in Family Tree that are in the invalid words list
You may wish to add your support to the aforementioned "Idea" (ie. 'Feedback').
I know that this does not help; but, I hope that this gives you even more, insight; and, perspective; and, an additional avenue to pursue.
Just some thoughts.
