bobsled92 0 #12 February 2, 2004 Holy crap! I used to joke about calling my son Grant 2.0 "the improved version" (due to he not being as defective as I) We gave him a different middle name. I just like to keep people from calling him "Junior", because we never intend to be on the cast of HEE HAW_______________________________ If I could be a Super Hero, I chose to be: "GRANT-A-CLAUS". and work 365 days a Year. http://www.hangout.no/speednews/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shotgun 1 #13 February 2, 2004 Sorry, I'm not joking. I don't see anything wrong with putting 2.0 at the end of the kid's name. Doesn't seem any different than putting "II" or "Jr.", except that it's more original. And now the kid will probably end up being somewhat famous just for being the first person to be named like that. Now if I had a kid, I wouldn't personally name it Version 2.0... but then I wouldn't name it "II" or "Jr." either because that's just not my thing... but I think the 2.0 is cute on someone else's kid.

riddler 0 #19 February 2, 2004 The ego of men to name children after themselves. I only say men because I don't know any women that name their daughters after themselves. Of course, it's probably been done, just far less common. Assuming the kid grows up with the normal human tendency to have issues with his parents, he can always get revenge by changing his name extension to 2.1. After the typical mid-life crises at 40, he can go to 2.2. And so on. On the other hand, if there's a good chance of inheritance, he can get in good with the father by naming his own son 3.0.Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

I don't know about other nordic coutries, but that's true about Finland... The law that Quote 694/1985 english Names Act Nimilaki Namnlag Amendments to the act Ministry: Translation completed: 30.09.1992 Availability: Oikeusministeriö: law.translations@om.fi http://www.finlex.fi/english/laws/index.php Basically what it says is: * A child needs be given a forename after birth * There can be maximum of three forenames * A forename is unacceptable if 1) the name is contrary to to Finnish spelling- or naming conventions. 2) the name is opposite sex's name (thus a girl cannot be named with man's name and the other way around - although some "unisex" names occur) 3) it is a familyname. 4) a sibling or half-sibling already has that name, unless it is the second (fore)name. point 2's convention can be broken if, 1) there is a religious reason for it 2) the person has, trough citizenship, family connection, or by some some other mean a link to a foreign state whose forename convention recognizes such name, OR 3) there is some other valid reason.

MikeJD 0 #23 February 2, 2004 "I wanted to find something different to name him besides Jon Blake," Cusack... told The Holland Sentinel. Well, what's wrong with David? Or Jeff? Or George? I only hope they remembered to deploy version 2.0 with the patch that fixes that baby naming problem... Seriously, though - I've seen far worse examples of child-naming outrage.
