Junior? The III? IV? What do you think of a lineage of the EXACT same name?

Silly & an ego trip

Lazy & no creativity

Traditional & solid

WASPy & preppy

Something else...

Somehow…. all of the above?😂

I don’t really care about it, it doesn’t offend me. I guess I just don’t know why you’d set yourselves up for a lifelong dynamic of family confusion.

And I guess the answer to that is different nicknames within the family, “Grandpa is John, dad is Jack, the son/grandson is “JJ” or something…. but then why even do it? For your driver’s license, official forms, and your tombstone?😂

Knock yourselves out, I guess. I probably won’t even know it’s happening, it’s no skin off my nose😝

I have noticed in the NFL in particular that a lot of guys have these legacy names, and a lot I’ve seen become “Sr.” since they’ve come to the league…and I almost think they’re naming their kids the same as themselves JUST for their nameplate😂

It’s all good, as long as you don’t have a bad name. Some poor kid I grew up with was the third iteration of “Young Cox”, lmfao. He went by his much more ordinary middle name😂😂😂

I never considered naming one of my sons after me. I wanted them to be their own men.

[DrPepper12]

Same. Marrying my Jewish princess sealed the deal cuz they don't name after the living.

The JR part or 3rd thing seems to be American thing but where I'm from its not uncommon to give a boy his father's Christian name along with the father's surname. It's also not uncommon to give a child a family name that maybe named after an sister or brother.

A/B/C/D - I reckon , not much imagination

Stephen Baxter IV.. Really? What a joke.

[beefcakebradybatson]

When a dude in his 20's who fathered a kid in his teens calls himself "Senior," I think it wired. Nobody under forty should call themselves "Senior."

[FunkyMonkee]

It beats having 5 kids and giving all of them the exact same name!

[Friendlybro79]

I don't care about what people do with this at all. Lol. Doesn't affect me

[Likes2drive]

Seems like they’re trying to create a legacy of that family
