The Drum knows that there are people in the world who live, sleep and breathe social media (we’re amongst them!) but one set of parents has taken it to a whole new level by calling their baby Hashtag.

Announced in a tweet, the proud mother posted ‘Hashtag Jameson was born at 10 oclock last nite. She weys 8pounds and i luv her so much!!!!!!’ [sic]

A comment in reply to the post says ‘Aww babes you finally had your tweetybird.’

You may think this story is, without a doubt, fake, but there are already children in the world named Like (chosen by an Israeli couple) and Facebook (chosen by a man in Egypt to celebrate the role the social media site had in inspiring the revolution).
