Man Takes Title of World's Geekiest Dad

Shane Bauer pointed me to this article. This is very very sad. Parents have no frickin clue sometimes. I mean, how messed up is this kid gonna be? I'd have my name changed as soon as I could. I sure hope his job brings in enough that he can afford his kid's therapy. He'll need LOTS of it.

  • Yeah, it isn't something I would have done to my kids. Then again, I have a pretty unusual name, and it has served me well. It almost always starts a conversation ("gee, I've never heard of that before?" or "what nationality is that?") so maybe it won't be too bad. Furthermore, in general, I have discovered that when you are growing up other kids will make fun of any name if they want to.

  • Maybe I'm just a geek myself, but I liked this. Like Avonelle said, kids will make fun of anything. At least 2.0 is something he can hide if it bothers him, unlike "Carroll" or "Lovhaug". I guess the three trimesters of pregnancy may soon be referred to as "Alpha", "Beta", and "Release Candidate".



  • Too funny! I was expecting ".com" or something like that. But "2.0" is pretty ingenious. I wouldn't think of doing it, but to each their own. Like Brian suggested, it's something that can be easily hidden as he gets older. It will all depend on how persistent his parents are in *calling* him "2.0". Maybe they'll realize that the novelty of *naming* him "2.0" is enough. Maybe.

  • Yes, it is funny, but will his version no. change when he gets periodic updates and patches when he grow ups. What the hell was his father thinking ??
