Techie dubs first son Version 2.0
February 02, 2004
A SELF-described engineering geek has taken a software approach to naming his newborn son.
New dad Jon Blake Cusack decided that tacking Jr or II onto a boy's name was too common and talked his wife into naming their son Jon Blake Cusack 2.0.
Version 2.0 was born last Tuesday at Holland Community Hospital in Michegan, USA, and the proud parents took him home on Friday.
"I wanted to find something different to name him besides Jon Blake," Mr Cusack told his local newspaper, The Holland Sentinel.
He said he had 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 did not concede until the week before the birth. She said, having 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," Mr Cusack said.
