Once the gender's out, make guests earn the name. Hide it in the grid as a hidden message and write the clues deliberately hard: a mix of cravings and mishaps everyone will relate to, plus a few inside jokes only the parents-to-be's closest friends will catch. The parents-to-be get to sit back and enjoy watching everyone squirm as they work their way toward the reveal.
