Mr. Jack Daniels Names His Son Jim Beam

Who says there aren’t any good name ideas anymore?

31-year-old Jack Daniels Leathers and his 23-year-old wife, Lydia, chose the name well before their marriage.

He told reporters they talked about baby names on their first date. For some reason, he thought Jim Beam would be a marvelous idea. I don’t buy it. No man on the planet talks about wanting to have kids on the first date. That’s about as hard to find as Unobtainium.

When Jim Beam Leathers was born, it turned what his grandparents had started into a legacy. I’m totally convinced this won’t turn generations into complete alcoholics.

Jack said that if they have another baby, a boy would be Evan Williams (after the bourbon–go figure) and a girl would be named Sherry.

The alcoholic references don’t stop there. The parish judge who officiated at Jack and Lydia’s wedding was Judge Johnny Walker. Now I’m really starting to wonder if this is all in Kentucky.

  1. I love hearing about strange names. My personal favourite is a Mrs Daisy Garden. You would really have to be in love to marry a man with the surname garden when your name is Daisy. And I know of a man called Cowboy, JUST Cowboy, who named his son Brown Horse.
