    That's so retro. He should've called the kid Jon Blake Cusack 2004.

      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.

          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.

You can imagine the fights that are gonna come out of this!

                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.

                  "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.

                                  I don't think it is bullying intelligent people as much as TV says. Its more of your in the "cool" group or your not worth anything and should be treated that way.
