"On our first date, we were talking about baby names. We thought Jim Beam would be a good idea," he told The Courier.

Jim Beam Leathers was born Nov. 14, turning grandparental pique into tradition.

"My parents decided they wanted to name their son something to make their parents mad," Jack Daniels Leathers said. "And, at the time, my dad was drinking Jack, which he enjoyed. My mom said, 'Why not?'"

Lydia Leathers said, "I've always tried to do stuff out of the ordinary, to do things differently than other people. It's hard to find a name that you like that nobody you know has. It was all Jack's idea. I just went along with it."
