New dad Jack Daniels names son Jim Beam
An American man named Jack Daniels has continued his family line of whiskey brand names by naming his first born son Jim Beam.
A new father called Jack Daniels has named his first born son Jim BeamAs reported by the Courier-Journal, 31-year-old Jack Daniels Leathers, who himself is named after Brown-Forman’s Tennessee whiskey brand, and his 23-year-old wife Lydia chose to name their baby son after the Bourbon brand prior to their marriage.
“On our first date, we were talking about baby names. We thought Jim Beam would be a good idea,” Jack Daniels Leathers told the newspaper.
“My parents decided they wanted to name their son something to make their parents mad, and at the time my dad was drinking Jack, which he enjoyed. My mom said, ‘Why not?'”
Daniel’s also claims that he and Lydia were married by a judge called Johnny Walker, similar to the blended Scotch whisky brand.
The couple said they will continue with the tradition should they have any more children, planning to name their future second born son Evan Williams and first born daughter Sherry.
