Oddest Baby Name Ever--Or New Trend?
 

Oddest Baby Name Ever--Or New Trend?

The baby's name is Jon Blake Cusack 2.0. Not Junior. Not the II. It's Version 2.0. Parents Jon Blake Cusack and his wife, Jamie, wanted to name their son something different. They did just that. Daddy, a self-described "engineering geek," talked his wife into the unusual name that mimics the naming process for new versions of software, reports The Associated Press.

"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. Version 2.0 was born on January 27 in Holland, Michigan. Baby and mother are doing just fine.

Daddy Cusack admitted that talking his wife into the name took several months, and Mommy Cusack didn't concede until a week before Baby Cusack was born. She told The Sentinel that since she had picked out the theme of the baby's room and done other things, "I decided to let Jon have this." Naturally, the birth announcement to friends and family was sent electronically.

I saw their picture. Nerd City.

Okay, wow, that kid is going to get the crap kicked out of him when he goes to school.

I want to see a picture.

When I first read this, I thought that it was about John Cusack, the actor.

Poor kid. His parents ought to be charged with child abuse -- he's certainly going to receive a ton of it from his peers in the years to come thanks to that brilliant name.

How will he write his name, all the little bubble in say II or III not 2.0 those parents are messing with his head and should be shot.

strange as it may seem... i could totally see other people following this trend...

This is very, very sad. Poor kid. Anyway, if the Cusacks have another boy, would he be Jon Blake Cusack 2.1? Let's hope not.

I like it! haha Very unique!! At least he will not have the same name as anyone, anywhere!!

My boy's name is going to have a Sir in front of it. Then he can brag all he wants about being knighted and come up with a bs story for it.

-Rudey
--He'll bang every girl around him.

Like Michael Jackson's kids? Prince Prince Michael II, etc, etc...

Maybe this kid will have a weird nickname...like blanket...only Jon Cusak 2.0 can be called pillow, or something just as insane.

Yes he will. That shows how self-absorbed the parents are. They named the kid without consideration to the level of abuse that he will receive.

Ok, so they wanted to be unique, but they still named the kid after his father, so it's not actually unique. These people are friggin' stupid.

If you think that one's bad check out some of these. (if the date is white, you can click on it and you have to go back to January to see some)
