This reminds me of a bit from a Louis C.K. comedy special in which the comedian riffs on the ability of parents to name their children anything they want without any laws to prevent them from using something idiotic like, say, “Hashtag.”
“You know what’s amazing to me? You can name your kid anything you want,” C.K. marveled. “Isn’t that incredible? There are no laws. There should be a couple of laws.”
On the bright side, maybe there will be laws enacted re: names after Hashtag Jameson gets beaten up in 7th grade along with two kids named “Tweet” and “Reblogged.”

Im pretty sure some white trash couple from South Jersey got charged with child endangerment after naming their kids like adolph himmler johnson and ava brown johnson or some retarded shit.
Wow, that’s a family that really hates their kid.
“On the bright side, maybe there will be laws enacted re: names after Hashtag Jameson gets a baseball bat forcibly rammed up his butt in 7th grade…”
Note that it’s a girl, not a boy. Which might be the only thing that saves her from being called “Hashfag” in the 7th grade.
Too bad
That’s a damn good insulting nickname
Ah, you must be in 7th grade!

Being an english teacher these days has to be Hell.
A good friend of mine is an English teacher. She would verify that it is, in fact, Hell to be an English teacher these days.
seriously, that has to be some sort of auto correct.
PLEASE let it be an auto correct.
Fuck it, I’m naming my baby “@.” Yeah, just the symbol. Like Prince.
I hope the whole family gets aids, even the baby.
It’s a hard thing to say, but I stand by my decision.
That’s ridiculous, Hashtag is clearly a boys name.
I think it started as a boys name, but now its the new cool girls name.
I’ve long maintained that each hospital should employ a child development specialist who has absolute veto power over newborns’ names. You want to name your child “Hashtag?” DENIED. Your child’s name is Elizabeth.
