Is her nickname going to be Hash or Hashy?

The new thing is to use “youre,” apparently? Either way, just looks like you were typing too fast and forgot the apostrophe or accidentally added an “e.” It’s so taxing to remember which to use.

Nobody is saying the obvious, that is NOT a newborn! That baby is at least two months old and looks like a boy to me. I have never seen a brand new baby photographed in a position like that. She stole the photo and eventually it will become obvious. TG, because we don’t want her “taking care” of an infant.

It’s pronounced Emily. They are just terrible at spelling.

I wonder if the parent was actually trying to use a hashtag but didn’t understand how to do it. So perhaps the baby’s name is just Jameson. That misunderstanding might even be funnier than the fact that everyone thinks the kid’s name is “Hashtag”. Either way it’s complete and utter silliness.

Dude, what makes this a complete tragedy is that there is no decent nickname to get from that. You get Hash or Tag, and kids are ruthless. Neither of those will go over well in middle school. I’ve already got at least 20 inappropriate and crude chants and comments that will be thought of by some hormonally charged adolescent boy. That doesn’t even account for the hateful chic clique that will no doubt spread some rumors of their own.

See, I see it completely differently. An unusual name works as what we geeks like to call a “bozo filter”–keeps away all the losers who are afraid of being different from the crowd, or associated with such. So she will always have only the best kind of people as friends. And the mom’s spelling looks (mostly anyway) like the kind of phonetic shorthand a serious Twitter geek would get in the habit of using to stay under the 140 character limit. Or maybe she’s just that ignorant, but I try to give people the benefit of the doubt.

As for the whole girl’s name/boy’s name thing–isn’t that kind of arbitrary and pretty much established by usage? So if the only person in the world with the name “Hashtag” is a girl, well, doesn’t that kinda *make* it a girl’s name?

There was a spacy lady in my childbirth class that wanted to name her baby Meconium. As in the sticky, black, tarry poop that a baby passes just after birth. She just thought the word sounded cool when the nurse said it.

I’m offended by commet #26. Though I’m not the “Sparkle” she is talking about…because I promise I am smarter than a post, lol, I resent what was said about my name. While Sparkle is a unique name, it’s difficult having Sparkle as a REAL name. ALL my life, everyone has thought Sparkle is just my nickname…my parents are hippies…or think I am a stripper.

In truth, I got my name, as my ethnic name translates to Shiny Light. Hence, why my American name is Sparkle. Which is way more AWESOME than Hashtag…poor baby!

Fox is as legitimate as MSNBC is. Both have moronic talking heads.

My mother always called my by my middle name, so that it the name I use. But it’s a legal mess when you don’t actually go by your first name. Basically, I end up using my first initial, middle name.
