Article “My Friend Named Her Baby ‘Hashtag'”

Would you call out your friend if you hated the name they gave their newborn? This friend did, and it did not go down well!

A woman has revealed that her friend recently gave birth, and named her baby Hashtag. And she’s asking the internet if she’s in the wrong for telling her friend just how awful the name is.

“Yes, you read that right, she named her child after a social media symbol,” the woman explained.

“When she first told me the name, I thought she was joking, but she was dead serious. I couldn’t believe it. I tried to be polite and tell her that it was unique, but she kept insisting that it was a great name and that her child would be one of a kind.

“I just couldn’t hold it in any longer and I finally told her that the name was ridiculous and that her child would likely face a lot of ridicule and bullying in the future. She got upset and accused me of not being supportive of her choices.

“Now, our mutual friends are split on the issue. Some agree with me that the name is absurd, while others think that I was too harsh and should have kept my opinion to myself.”

The woman is now wondering if she should have just lied to her friend, and told her she liked the name.

“So, am I the a**hole for telling my friend that her baby’s name is ridiculous, or should I have just kept my opinion to myself?”

What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.

  • Generally I’m in favor of keeping your opinions to yourself about baby names, but I have to admit this one is really cruel to the child. I might have tried to be gentler about it, though.

    • Yes I agree with you.
      I’m however wondering that where there is a mum to be there’s also a dad to be.
      And if they both think this is the best name for their child to be ?
      Should a friend go in between the parents to be ?

  • It’s a crazy name and if a friend of mine named their child that I would tell them I didn’t like it. The poor kid will be teased growing up.

  • It’s hard to believe that there are people out there that actually do these ridiculous things.

  • I have always tried not to judge other peoples names for their kids but even I’ll admit this one is pretty bad… As for telling your friend that…… I probably would have kept my mouth shut…..

    • I agree with keeping ones opinions silent when there is nothing pleasant to come out of particular situations.

  • I remember receiving comments about names and brushed it off.
    I have never commented on other peoples names and also shaken off comments received about names.
    Others opinions really do not matter, it is their issue.

  • Personally I think it’s your friends choice who she wants to call her baby. You didn’t have to lie and told her you liked the name, you could have kept your opinion for yourself though, sometimes silence speaks words
