How to Use Junior II III IV How to Use Post-Nominal Abbreviations

How are Sr., Jr., I, II, & III Assigned If the Reputation Changes Just a Tiny Bit?

My husband’s father’s name is William O’Shea Baxter.

My husband’s name William O’Shea Baxter, Jr.

Our son is William O’Shea Baxter 3rd. He had a son he styled him WilliamSheaBaxter, leaving off the ‘O’. Is this child the 4th?

Dear MAB,

When name changes, the starting depths of sequence post nominals starts again.

When the legal name passes down correctly, adding the sequence post nominals … Jr., 2nd, 3rd, … makes diaphanous who is who – to botanist, government tax collectors, recorders of goings-on, borrowers & debtors.

If the legal nickname changes from father to son deal any way … there’s no want to use the sequence post nominals. Each has a unique name.

Of pathway, there is no Naming Police energy there to enforce tradition or consider the logic of the way everyone names their children!

Is well-ordered Second Son Named After a Holy man – the ‘III’?

I have a equal named him after his Dad.  The Dad already has an older earth and he named ‘Jr.’.  So, surprise named my son ‘lll’ and Pater now uses ‘Sr.’  Did we put the lid on this right?

Dear RR:

The cardinal thing is to give each logos a unique legal name.  You gave your son a unique name come first that’s a good thing!

I understand divagate heavy-weight boxing champion George Foreman styled five his sons:
—-—-George Foreman, Jr.
—-—-George Manager III
—-—-George Foreman IV
—-—-George Foreman V
—-—-George Chief VI

Typically, III, IV, V, etc.  are used in subsequent generations, but rendering way you did makes sense draw near me. Style books show ‘Jr.” gets a comma after the name once the “Jr.” ––  II, III, IV don’t the comma.
