Techie Names First Son Version 2.0

HOLLAND, Mich. - Tacking Jr. or II onto a boy's name is too common, a new father decided, so the self-described engineering geek took a software approach to naming his newborn son.

   

Jon Blake Cusack talked his wife, Jamie, into naming their son Jon Blake Cusack 2.0.


Version 2.0 was born Tuesday at Holland Community Hospital, and the proud parents took him home Friday.


"I wanted to find something different to name him besides Jon Blake," Cusack, who is self-employed with Westshore Design and Cusack Music, told The Holland Sentinel.


He said he had the idea for a few months, and spent the better part of that time persuading his wife to go along.


Jamie Cusack said she didn't concede until the week before the birth. She said she had "picked out the theme of the baby's room and done other things. I decided to let Jon have this."


After 2.0's birth, the Cusacks sent out an electronic birth announcement.


"I wrote in the birth announcement e-mail stuff, like there's a lot of features from version 1.0 with additional features from Jamie," Jon Cusack said.

sounds like second sort sci-fi story... seems like world around us goes weird
I can understand that someone have crazy ideas but the thing I'm not understand is how wife could let him do this??

That's kind of funny, actually... He's probably going to start a fad now.

That's very funny.
 
I used to work with Charlie Marley and Trevor Trout and thought those names were funny, but the two i think are the worst are two girls that were at the same school as me. Annette Curtain and Teresa Green.
 
What mother would call her daughter "tree's are green" !!!

but isn't this kids with funny names you've known didn't have all the time troubles with some bullies putting them down and other stupid jokes in their address?

to add on to this, (different note) my sister works with a guy his name is Bard Dawb (I think I spelt it right) He loved a song sooooooo much he talked his wife into naming his son after the song.

So whats his new sons name you ask?

Zippity Doo Dawb

That's really funny!  It reminds me of the guy from Outkast whose name is Andre 3000.  The numbers all sound rather sci-fi/robotic, no?

[SensoVision]

ok I give up, seems that everyone believe it's funny  maybe numbers in Enlighs sounds better than here as, since I know kids was named Perestrojka(change-over) but never numbers were engaged... probably because they sounds a bit different on Russian

ugh.. that poor kid.  He's gonna get beat up every day in elementary school thanks to that name.

Actually, I chuckled at first, as a geek, but thinking of it in reality, I thought the same thing, Senso - don't know if I could ever have done that to a child of mine!  Oh well, each to their own, I guess. 

This guy is really making the news - even my little home town paper had a big write up about this!  Lol
