Here’s one baby name that probably won’t make it on this year’s most popular list: Jim Beam.

But for one Louisiana family, baby Jim Beam will fit in quite well. His father, Jack Daniels Leathers, 31, is also named after a stiff drink.

It’s somewhat of a tradition for the family, he told the Houma Courier in Houma, Louisiana, earlier this week.

The day Leathers was born, his father happened to be drinking a glass of the well-known whiskey and suggested the name, Leathers told CNNMoney. His mother agreed, after calling a local store to double check the correct spelling. (His birth certificate actually reads: Jack Daniel’s Leathers.)

I would name my son Basil Hayden. Not so generic and a real smooth operator.

You might be a redneck if ... you call a liquor store to double-check the spelling of your newborn’s name.

[Kirkwood]

If they were libs, their future kids’ names could be Hot Cocoa, Apple Martini, and Sparkling Perrier.

I Drink Alone - George Thorogood

I drink alone, yeah
With nobody else
I drink alone, yeah
With nobody else
You know when I drink alone
I prefer to be by myself

Every morning just before breakfast
I don’t want no coffee or tea
Just me and good buddy Weiser
That’s all I ever need
‘Cause I drink alone, yeah
With nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone
I prefer to be by myself

The other night I laid sleeping
And I woke from a terrible dream
So I caught up my pal Jack Daniel’s
And his partner Jimmy Beam
And we drank alone, yeah
With nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone

I prefer to be by myself

The other day I got invited to a party
But I stayed home instead
Just me and my pal Johnny Walker
And his brothers Black and Red
And we drank alone, yeah
With nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone
I prefer to be by myself

My whole family done give up on me
And it makes me feel oh so bad
The only one who will hang out with me
Is my dear Old Grand-Dad
And we drink alone, yeah
With nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone
I prefer to be by myself

His birth certificate actually reads: Jack Daniel’s Leathers.

Nice touch to include the apostrophe. It must be fun to be Jeff Foxworthy given the amount of material he has at his disposal.

[Right Brother]

If I had the last name of ‘Leathers’, I would name my kid ‘Suede’.

“Jim Beam.”

Two syllables. Seven letters in all. And the parents weren’t sure of the spelling?????

I wonder what the options were?

Gym Beem?
Iam Boehm?
Chim-chim-cherree Beam?
Skyrld Glitzschdorf?

[smokingfrog]

Chap Leathers (good name for a gay porn star)

[Georgia Girl 2]

Well it is the South after all. LOL!

Perhaps they’ll name the daughter “Brandy Alexander?”

[Beagle8U]

I worked with a guy named Jack Daniels, his two drinking buddies were named George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.

Really they were. He said they were stopped by the cops once and the cops held them for a long time because they couldn’t believe they weren’t fake IDs.

[CrazyIvan]

Met a guy named Jim Beam once. He said he got called Jack Daniels all the time.
