I feel like it would be more problematic to do with a boy than a girl, just because not officially gets name at bris? But if you've thought of a name/know what ur gonna call baby, do you use the name before baby naming? Even when just talking to the baby? Or talking to dh about baby? Totally just curious. Wondering if we're specifically not supposed to?

Definitely not. Before bris, baby is "baby".

So what do people do with the birth certificate? My OB recently told me that you have to fill in the legal name of the baby within 48 hours of the birth.

You fill it in but don't call the baby by that name.

We fill it out but don’t call the baby by the name.

With my first, they threatened that I couldn't leave the hospital without putting in a name. I finally put in Baby Boy and they let me go. (Note that thankfully the birth certificate people are smarter than them, and they sent me a certificate with the name blank, and instructions to get the name changed at some office.)
For my later kids they just sent the paperwork in after the bris.
I have heard of couples that put in the name they are planning before leaving the hospital, but then some of them change their minds... So if you ever meet a Meir Moshe Chaim whose legal name is Hillel Yonah, that might be why.

Our rav said we can fill out the birth certificate and just keep it to ourselves. We don't call the baby anything before they are named though. It usually takes me a few days after the bris to get used to their name anyway.

We asked for a religious extension and we had a week to do it.

If you don’t fill it out in the hospital it becomes a very big headache, and that was before corona times.
So we fill it out but we definitely do not call the baby by the name until after they are named.
I had a frum hospital roommate who kept calling her baby by the name they were going to give him and I found that very odd.
