What I can’t remember is if babies (being essentially objects and not Sims) age up while playing a different household?
Yes they will age-up if away. Like @MVWdeZT said, you can turn off aging-up in un-played households in game settings. Since I manually put up the aging, I don't mind if they age up since I may just let a household do their own thing while I play others. I get what you're saying though. That was a problem for me when I started. I didn't know you had that option to turn on or off so I manually just kept increasing the age span for each age group. I even have pregnancy at 12 days now because I don't like having babies spamming all over the place all at once, lol!
And yes it is kind of nice to be there when the baby is born, and to age up the baby to toddler while playing a current household.
As for the names, you should be able to change it to whatever you want in CAS. (Where you edit households)
I'm changing Olivia Kim-Lewis and her offspring to last-name Kimlew.
