Baby Named 'Hashtag' Jameson Becomes Trending Topic - Polidicks

[QUOTE] It's become trendy over the years to name babies something offbeat and different, like Gwyneth Paltrow's Apple, but one mother drew inspiration from the trendiest of all trendy things -- literally. She named her baby daughter born on Saturday Hashtag Jameson. “Hashtag Jameson was born at 10 oclock last nite. She weys 8pounds and I luv her so much!!!!!” an announcement [URL="http://cdn0.dailydot.com/uploaded/images/original/2012/11/27/Screen_Shot_2012-11-27_at_8.07.54_AM.png"]posted on Facebook[/URL] read, along with a photo of baby Hashtag. So far, there is no clear indication if the baby's real name is Hashtag or whether it's just another Internet hoax or publicity stunt. But that doesn't mean people aren't talking about it. The web is rife with criticism for the baby, lambasting her mother for choosing such a bizarre name. [URL="http://uk.lifestyle.yahoo.com/twitter-loving-parents-name-baby-hashtag-124117287.html"]Yahoo News[/URL] even pointed out that several other hashtags have been started associated with the story, including #Foolishparents, #YourParentsHateYou and #StupidestNameEver. "While some have considered that the little girl will grow up to be the living embodiment of the degradation of the English language, others have simply despaired for the mother, whose last name is Jameson," [URL="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2239599/Did-mother-really-just-child-Hashtag-Photo-baby-Twitter-inspired-sweeps-Internet.html"]The Daily Mail[/URL] wrote. "If you’re going to give your daughter a weird name, at least roll with something that doesn’t imply you spent the entire pregnancy cycle staring at your iPhone," [URL="http://mashable.com/2012/11/27/parents-name-baby-hashtag/"]Mashable[/URL] wrote. The [URL="http://www.ajc.com/news/news/say-hello-to-baby-hashtag/nTG56/"]Atlanta Journal-Constitution [/URL]poked fun at the name, joking her "sibling will be named Retweet." However, little Hashtag Jameson is not the first baby to be named after social media jargon. According to The Daily Mail, an Israeli couple last year named their baby girl "Like" in reference to Facebook's "Like" button. The couple, Lior and Vardit Adler, were looking for a standout name for their newborn and drew inspiration from the Facebook moniker. Similarly, an Egyptian man named Gamal Ibrahim named his baby girl "Facebook," but in honor of the social network's role in ousting of Egypt's former President Hosni Mubarak during the Arab Spring last year. [/QUOTE] What has this world become?

If that's the kid's real name, I pray child services takes it away.

What will they come up with next

Some people really shouldn't have children.......for the child's sake and the worlds.

I think it'd be more embarrassing if your first name was Wayne and your last name is Kerr

It's all fun and games until the child is 8-12 and realizes her name is dumb as shit.

Looking forward to the inevitable wave of Social Media Baby Name Gurus.
