If naming your son Jr. isn't geeky enough...

Name him 2.0 instead

[Jenstar]

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.

Does walking upgrade him to 2.1?

Does walking upgrade him to 2.1?

Nope. Puberty does. :)

Not too surprising, really. Remember Moon Zappa? <chuckle>

What with "Jake 2.0" being a Television show here in the US, it was bound to happen in reality. (I think it's been on about a year now.)

I wanted to find something different to name him besides Jon Blake," Cusack told The Holland Sentinel.

Ummmm....how about Peter or Steve or James? Ya gotta love the arrogance of some men - he never even considered giving his son a name other than his own:)

I've actually been threatening for years to name my firstborn "Michael Bauser 3.0" (yes, the "2" in my userid stands for "Jr."), but I have to meet a woman crazy enough to bear my children, let alone let me name them so oddly.

Hey! What do you mean "geeky enough"? You're just jealous that some of us have better family tradiditions that the rest of you!

In spain (and some other countries), people bears two surnames. The women keep their surname after wedding, and children take as first surname the first from their father and as the second one the first from their mother.
My grandfather was called Pedro Sáez López, and my grandmother Enilda López García. When they had their 1st son, they make tradition and put him the name of his father: his name is Pedro Sáez López... how many misunderstandings would have we saved if he had been named Pedro Sáez López 2.0! (or maybe PSL 2.beta: he's 43 and is still like a child!;))
