Could This Be The #Trendiest #Babyname Ever?

Quick, what do these words have in common: Apple, Sparrow, Bluebell.

Yeah, crazy celebrity baby names.  We all get a kick out of them, but I've never understood going for shock value when naming a baby.

This week, my friends, we have what has to be the #trendiest baby name of the #Twitter generation.  I'm giving you clues.  Any guesses yet?

Hashtag.

I'm not kidding.

Last Saturday night, baby Hashtag was born and her proud mama posted this pic of the precious child onto Facebook, announcing her birth and her unique name.  Granted, this Facebook post isn't an official birth announcement, but the story has blown up on Twitter and transferred to more mainstream sources including Huffington Post. 

Sigh, I don't even know anymore.  I thought we'd gotten to a new low last February when the family in Egypt named their son "Facebook" to honor the website's role in igniting Egypt's revolution.  That was different, but at least tied to a worthy cause.  Hashtag?  Someone please tell me why that is necessary or meaningful!

I'd recommend to this girl to start going by "Ash" as quickly as possible.  Otherwise, recess teasing might get pretty rough.

Taking Twitter Too Far...#iDo!?

You all know how much I love tweeting.  I adore posting interesting information and getting tidbits throughout my day from those I follow.  However, even with my deep love of all things Twitter, this might be taking things too far.

NY Daily News reported last week that a couple in Turkey used Twitter to... wait for it... exchange wedding vows. 

Not even kidding here, folks.

Cengizhan Celik and his blushing bride Candan Canik used Twitter to say "I Do"!  Or, to be more accurate, "Evet" (Turkish for "Yes").

Maybe - I stress MAYBE - I would feel differently about this if the couple was separated across seas for work or family or other reasons.  But no!  They were next to eachother, tweeting on the same iPad!

I vote no.  What do you think?  Is this the new normal!?
