It may be a joke or a hoax but one new mum has apparently announced on Facebook that her newborn baby girl is called Hashtag. This name, an apparent tribute to the ubiquitous # symbol in social media, has led to predictable outrage in the Twittersphere. The biggest objection is that the child will be lumbered with a name that will draw scorn in the playground. No one born in 1983 is called Amstrad or Pac-Man, after all. But fears of a life of cyberbullying for Hashtag are unfounded as she will be hanging out with Caligula and Boudicca if she lives in north London and Kaiden and Luca-Ky if she lives in Norwich. In a playground of weird names, Hashtag will fit right in.
