When you're with a group of people that may not know each other all that well, and you propose singing happy birthday to one of them, make sure start things off by naming the person. Like, "let's all sing happy birthday to Shuva!" That way you won't end up with a song that goes "happy birthday dear... *mumble*, happy birthday to you!"

And then when the song got to the part with her name, there was a pause, as the hosts (the next-door neighbors, who provided the cake) didn't even say her name for a moment!

But, yeah... that's sorta bad planning. Another option is to simply sing "happy Birthday" in the spot where the name should be:
"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday! Happy birthday to you!"
