Hey it shows that the kid is a new improved version, instead of just a rehash ;).

Naming your kids after you is stupid to begin with IMHO

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.


As if naming your kid after yourself wasn't retarded enough...


Haha. That's great. Does he get to change his name as he ages? He gets his licence, Jon Blake Cusack 2.1; goes to college, Jon Blake Cusack 2.2; gets married, Jon Blake Cusack 2.3.

What a loser, just because he's an idiot doesn't mean he has to curse his son with an idiot name like 2.0

What's wrong with naming your kid after yourself?
But 2.0 is pretty funny.

It's narcissistic. But, naming your child 2.0 is really retarded. To look at this guy you can tell that he's socially inept, and he's damning his child to more of the same with such a ridiculous name.

sadly it's exactly because he's a loser that he doesn't realize how silly this is.

You know what the saddest thing is? The 2.0 versions of most software are really buggy! He should have named him 2.0.1 or 2.0 Service Pack 1 instead :)

lol...only in Holland.

Holland is a weird town. The big event there is the Tulip festival. People walk around staring at flowers and buying wooden shoes.

I thought it was pretty funny. I'm not a big fan of naming a child after its parents, but I thought this was rather creative.

being named after your parents does have some advantages, u can use their CC's and write checks with their checks, and no one questions it,not that u should do it without their knowledge, but it does help having ur kid go to the bank for u when u dont have the time
