Baby name story: Jameson

In February of 2018, St. Louis radio personality Cassiday Proctor and her partner, Jerry, welcomed a baby boy. In fact, the baby was born live (via Caesarean section) on the air!

What was the baby named? Jameson, because that’s what Cassiday’s audience had voted for a month earlier.

The radio station (WARH) had hosted an on-air, bracket-style tournament during January that started with 24 names — 12 serious contenders mixed with 12 not-so-serious contenders (such as Fredbird). Listeners helped Cassiday and Jerry “eliminate various options until they were left with one.”
