        He'll never hold a job. Everyone knows, you've gotta wait 'till version 3 to get any serious work done.

        But in the end, it's all just database access right? And that stuff is just plain boring.

          That's grotesque. But maybe rivaled by my sister's hippie friend who named her daughter Yumi Sohi.

                      Jesus, few who replied and said "Poor kid" actually seemed to have read your link. He didn't name the kid 2.0, he appended that onto his normal name. No one is going to ever see it when he's in school. I think it's cool, and logical and there is nothing at all wrong with having a unique name.

                              "like there's a lot of features from version 1.0 with additional features from Jamie" Sounds like the father fancies himself a bit too much. Anyone car to explain why parents give the same name to their offspring and so end up having to tack on Jr. II? Sounds like something that should have died with Dallas to me. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Christopher Duncan quoted: "All Corvettes are red. Everything else is just a mistake."

                                I totally agree. 'Jr.' sounds as stupid as 'Version 2.0' to me.

                                    Paul Watson wrote: Sounds like the father fancies himself a bit too much I've often wondered about this. My great grandfather was George Manderson (If he had middle names I don't know them). My grandfather was Oswald George Manderson. My father was Robert George Gwillim Manderson. And I'm Robert Clyde Manderson. (stop laughing :) )* At least I was lucky enough to avoid the George (I can't imagine being a George). Clyde was the name of my fathers best friend. I never met him (so far as I know) but family mythology says he was a Scottish sailor. Paul Watson wrote: Anyone car to explain why parents give the same name to their offspring and so end up having to tack on Jr. II? My knowledge here is limited to the English speaking world, and I'd hazard a guess it's pretty much confined to the United States of America. Certainly I've never met anyone who wasn't a US Citizen who was so and so junior. As for why? I suspect it's a fear of death. If my name lives on I won't die. Denial of reality. Or perhaps a hope that one's offspring will invent hyperdrive and for 5 minutes one's friends will imagine it was one rather than ones offspring? *In a small coincidence my mothers maiden name was Anderson. So I'm the product of a Manderson and an Anderson. My maternal grandfather was born in 1902 during a cricket game in Brunswick Melbourne. And I'm proud to claim some Norwegian Ancestry. My paternal great grandmother was a full blooded Australian Aborignal and thus I get to make a small claim to 80,000 years of Australian Ancestry :) Rob Manderson **Paul Watson wrote:**What sense would you most dislike loosing?

                                          Does he not realize he is totally destroying his sons chances of fitting in at school? I mean high school is brutal enough with a normal name, can't imagine what it would be like to be "2.0" Matt Newman If you chose to continue this discussion, I am fully prepared to make you my bitch. I invite you to ask around, and you'll find out that I'm quite capable of doing so - John Simmons on Trolls

I mean high school is brutal enough with a normal name, What is it with American High Schools... does all teh crap I see on TV about bullying and treating intelligent people bad actually happen??? Please, please say no... Something like that happened over here and the bullies would quiet probably get their heads kicked in by a teacher or all the "intelligent" people. Also... going by whatt on tv, nobody intelligent in a US Highschool seems to have any athletic ability... which in itself is also a bit sad. Hmmmmm... damn TV... rotting my brain and giving me messed up view on the world... or are they? Regards, Brian Dela :-) http://www.briandela.com IE 6 required.
