You can enter her name there. But, why wouldn't it just populate. Check her age of the child.
To qualify for this credit, you must meet all of these criteria:
The credit is worth anywhere from 20% to 35% of your qualified expenses, up to $3,000 (for one qualifying person) and $6,000 (for two or more qualifying persons). Your percentage depends on your AGI, with the higher percentages applying to lower incomes and vice-versa.
TurboTax will determine your eligibility and calculate the maximum credit allowed.

Thank you for your response. I tried entering her name there and that doesn't seem to be an option. She is only 9 months old.
Did you enter that she lived with you all year or just 6 months?
There is a message in the instructions that if she was born during the year to enter that she lived with you "the whole year" instead of just selecting 6 months.
If you only entered six months then go back to the dependent section and change it and that should fix your problem.
