Little Baby Hashtag

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5DoDSijMz0

There are an awful lot of BIZARRE names around nowadays. So it takes something really special to make us stop and do a DOUBLE-TAKE. But this is something really special. Ready? It appears that a proud new Mum has named her baby daughter 'HASHTAG'. Well, that's what she announced on Facebook anyway...

Hashtag? Hashtag?? You can't call a baby after a PUNCTUATION symbol. Where will the madness end? Comma? Asterisk? Colon? That said we do have a very good friend called Dot. Anyway, fingers crossed that the Facebook name announcement was MERELY a post-childbirth TYPO. If it wasn't then never mind kid, at least your Mum didn't decide to call you Mitt Romney like that poor baby in Kenya...

What do you think of the name Hashtag? Do you know any other strange baby names?
