Claims are flying around the internet that two new parents have reportedly named their new baby girl 'Hashtag'.

A picture of the newborn was posted on Facebook last Saturday afternoon (November 24), announcing her name which was apparently inspired by social networking website Twitter.

One parent said: "Hashtag Jameson was born at 10 oclock last nite.

"She weys 8pounds and I luv her so much."

News of the baby's name has spread over the internet, with many questioning if it is a hoax or a joke.

Last year, a couple from Israel named their child 'Like' after the Facebook feature.
