Yeah, I don't think I even heard "pound" for # until I went online and started getting exposed a lot more to US stuff (also harking from the 80s UK micro world).

I feel like "octothorpe" might have been referenced in the jargon file or similar texts?

I checked, and it gets a passing mention (along with a snipe about annoying Britons!) in Jargon File and Hackers Dictionary.
