Exclamation Naming a Jr. Version 2.0
Engineering geek names son version 2.0





HOLLAND, Michigan (AP) --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.

So why again did you name him Jon Blake then?

People at work tell me I'm always thinking outside of the box. I guess I now have proof.

Otherwise, I have no clue how I did that. I just cut and pasted from the article.

On the bright side if this kid doesn't turn out the way he wants... he can always just name the next one Jon Blake 2.1 and hope the "patched" version does better.
