  • Naming techies kids....

    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.

      I just saw that posted on another forum and you beat me to it Doc

      Well the kid will eventually change his name once he realizes what his father did.

          Just hope he doesn't name his kid 3.0 in turn.

            "Jon Blake Cusack SE" would work too. And if the kid had mental retardation it'd still apply, just meaning "Special Edition" (like ATI's 9600SE which is slower than a stock 9600.)

              When he gets his first prosthetic body part, he will have to change his name to Jon Blake Cusack 2.1.

                          I personally like calling ATI's SE products Sucky Edition
                          Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?
