Obviously you've thought a lot about this. Once I've had users actually use the site as their baby registry (fingers-crossed) I'll see what the actual percentages of the problems you've described are. 1 - when you reserve you enter your name and email address. you then get an email (that i currently don't make you confirm, but could) that says "you have promised to purchase X" 2 - This is an issue with in-store registries as well. I am not currently solving this issue, but it is technically feasible to do so. 3 - I'm depending on the older relatives to give us cash for baby's college fund :) I'm definitely not trying to solve e-commerce for an older generation. 4 - That's a good point. Hopefully this is a small percentage or items/online stores. Thanks for the feedback.
