You should be able to give them the name(s) of the mother and father. If the ina persons parents have the same first names, that should indicate that there could have been an error in entering the baby's name in the record.

The other possibility is that your information is wrong. Verify with relatives if you can.

You may be able to use other records in place of a birth certificate: infant Baptism or Christening, early school records. Sworn affidavit from relative or old family friend that has known you since birth.
