- HOLLAND, Mich. (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.
