Hey, you can name your baby whatever you’d like. India. Brooklyn. D’Brickashaw. Apple. Falcon.

But 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.

Baby Hashtag popped into this world on Saturday around 10 p.m., a precious little girl weighing 8 pounds and possessing at least seven pictures — the full extent of what the only identifying picture shows.

This isn’t the first time that parents have taken to the social media dictionary to outfit their child’s birth certificate.

Last February, a man in Egypt named his son Facebook in an effort to honor the role the website played in igniting the country’s Jan. 25 revolution.

Hashtag will likely grow up to be a happy, healthy, beautiful adult woman, but we can’t help but think she’s going to face a great deal of scrutiny and teasing on the grade-school playgrounds.

Tag! #YoureIt.

My guess is they're from England...just by the way they're talking on facebook.
 
"Hashtag" is twitter language

Lets you mark/group keywords in a tweet. People can search words and it'll pull tweets with those hashtags etc.
 
Here- straight from twitter

Using hashtags to categorize Tweets by keyword:

People use the hashtag symbol # before a relevant keyword or phrase (no spaces) in their Tweet to categorize those Tweets and help them show more easily in Twitter Search.
Clicking on a hashtagged word in any message shows you all other Tweets marked with that keyword..
Hashtags can occur anywhere in the Tweet – at the beginning, middle, or end.
Hashtagged words that become very popular are often Trending Topics.
Example: In the Tweet below, eddie included the hashtag #FF. Users created this as shorthand for "Follow Friday," a weekly tradition where users recommend people that others should follow on Twitter. You'll see this on Fridays.
 
How is Hashtag even a girl's name? Nickname can possibly be Hash or Ash. But I wouldn't name a baby as a part of a twitter addiction. I wouldn't even name a dog 'Hashtag'.
