Birth of Daughter, Lisa Brennan

When Jobs was 23, Brennan gave birth to their baby, Lisa Brennan, on May 17, 1978. Jobs went there for the birth after he was contacted by Robert Friedland, their mutual friend and the farm owner. While distant, Jobs worked with her on a name for the baby, which they discussed while sitting in the fields on a blanket. Brennan suggested the name 'Lisa' which Jobs also liked and notes that Jobs was very attached to the name 'Lisa' while he 'was also publicly denying paternity'. She would discover later that during this time, Jobs was preparing to unveil a new kind of computer that he wanted to give a female name (his first choice was 'Claire' after St. Clare). She stated that she never gave him permission to use the baby's name for a computer and he hid the plans from her. Jobs worked with his team to come up with the phrase, 'Local Integrated Software Architecture' as an alternative explanation for the Apple Lisa. Decades later, however, Jobs admitted to his biographer Walter Isaacson that 'obviously, it was named for my daughter'.
