Instead of the moniker “Junior”, a man from Holland, Michigan has a different idea. Jon Blake Cusack named his son: Jon Blake Cusack Version 2.0. He figures that in this day of technology advances, Version 2.0 is a great choice! This is his way of giving their son a unique, uncommon name.

Mr. Cusack asked friends what they thought of the name and his male friends thought it was “cool.” Female friends weren’t quite so sure.

Celebratory emails were sent to family and friends, designed to look like new software he and his wife had created. “I wrote … stuff like ‘there’s a lot of new features from Version 1.0, with additional features from Jamie (mother),” he said.

Mr. Cusack would like to see his son, Version 2.0, have a son and call him Version 3.0!
