I'm not even joking, that was what someone tried to call their kid.

Imagine any of the more cruel jokes she'll hear in school[/QUOTE]
her name is a cruel joke in and of itself
[QUOTE=BlazeFresh;38626931]i wonder if she will be legally allowed to write her name as '#'.[/QUOTE]
[quote](b) A signature may be made (i) manually or by means of a device or machine, and (ii) by the use of any name, including a trade or assumed name, or by a word, [B]mark[/B], or [B]symbol[/B] executed or adopted by a person with present intention to authenticate a writing.[/quote]

Possibly.
At least I found out I don't have to write my signature in cursive. My signature on my driving permit literally looks like a little kid wrote it, especially because I had to write it on a shitty touch screen with a plastic stick.
thats her not taking her child seriously enough to give her a normal name
really. hashtag? wow, there is no way that society is going to advance at this rate. we have mothers naming their children after twitter. fuck that.
[QUOTE=imptastick;38627929]Think about the advantages though:
1) Nobody will ever sell your kid alcohol or tobacco because they will think the ID is fake.
2) With the middle name Danger your kid will probably be cool
3) You have an excuse to yell Danger when your kid is acting up
4) Your kid will grow up with a great conversation starter
Possible additional advantage: Nickname him General and refer to him as General Danger, even more fun to yell in public. Plus you are raising a super villain.

Although I do admit I may need to purchase additional heath coverage, as he will probably break a lot of bones, feeling the need to live up to his name.[/QUOTE]
if the family name is Robinson, you could give birth to "Danger Will"
He could have a pretty unique signature

you have been banned for not reading the article banned user
banned user you are a bad reader
and a terrible babysitter
a hash-tag is pretty much a [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_sign]number sign[/url], right
the symbol # goes by other names like [I]Octothorpe[/I], [I]Flash[/I], [I]Oof[/I], and [I]Crunch[/I], all which make marginally better first names
Octothorpe sounds classier than Hash-tag. Oof is a good name if the baby is destined to be huge (like Shaq huge, not "morbidly obese")
And if her friends try to shorten it in the same way that Johnathon becomes John, then all she's gonna get is Hash which is no good either
[QUOTE=mobrockers2;38627138]No they shouldn't, kids should be protected against abuse like this.[/QUOTE]
The government should tell people what to name their kids? What the fuck? It's not a good name, but are you serious?
[QUOTE=ShaunOfTheLive;38628906]So how does your country decide what names are valid? Do they just have a list of Christian names? You must be John, Mark, Luke, Paul, Mary or Rachel? Would they allow a name like "Barack"?

They will allow any sensible name, in the end it's up to the registrar at the civil council to accept it or not.

Like in most Western European countries the issue of how a child may or may not be called in the Netherlands itself is dealt with in a moderately liberal way.
There once was a list of permitted first names, but this was abolished long ago, when many immigrants arrived and many lawyers and civil servants had to spend lots of time granting exceptions to the rule.
Since then, basically any name is allowed, as long as it is not ridiculous, absurd or obscene. The registrar at the city council being the judge of this.

No, the government should restrict which names may be used in order to protect the child.

Could I get away with "Zeppelin"?
[QUOTE=Psychopath12;38627038]Then it turns out that the bully's name is Megatron.[/QUOTE]
Actually I get to (sorta) call my kid Megatron without ruining her life, as my last name is Dron.
Meg A. Dron
My parent's named me Evan Sean McClane. Evan is Welsh for John, Sean is Gaelic for John, and McClane means Saint John's servant.
When they explain her name in the future, I bet she'll ask
"mom, what's a twitter?"
'Hash-tag' just sounds awful.
Eureka sounds like a cool name, or even Autumn.
[QUOTE=Aphtonites;38627004]I hate parents who treat their kids like pets or accessories, they should be aware that names like these really can really effect their lives, I grew up with an "odd" name and I'm still being made fun of because of it.
I mean goddamn, this is almost as bad as that person who named her baby Pinkamena "Zecora" [surname].[/QUOTE]
Now I want to know what your name is.

Name your child this instead.
[QUOTE=zakedodead;38627316]Come on morons stick to names of abstract emotions or minerals, at least those are passable as names. This is like looking around the room and naming your kid lamp.[/QUOTE]
If there is a child out there named Lamp, we at least know there is one person who will stand up for them lovingly. Brick.
[QUOTE=Tigster;38631538]If there is a child out there named Lamp, we at least know there is one person who will stand up for them lovingly. Brick.[/QUOTE]
As a non-english speaker Lamp by itself sounds like a good name. Shame it's taken by the light emitter.
I wonder what their honest reasoning behind naming her that was.
Either way it's a shut name but I hope she makes up for it by being totally awesome later in life

That's way too much of a subjective call to make. You're being incredibly unrealistic.
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;38626942]I hate parents who name their son or daughter names like "Facebook, Hashtag, Dragonborn" or generally anything related to games and/or social media.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, it happens. Wasn't there a thing a few years or year or so back where someone named there child after Megatron after 1mil likes or something on facebook? I don't remember...

If I had to say, #yolo was probably the reason.

Unrealistic? Most European governments do it and we're just fine.

I'd ask your local civil council.
I wish my name was Hashtag.

At least they wont call him Megaton.
