No. Besides the fact that it clutters the page and looks ridiculous, the Chicago Manual of Style says not to. However, there are times when that's the way the Jr. wants it, then yes. But not as a general rule.

Do you add a comma before Jr or Sr or III in a name?

No comma is necessary before "Jr.", "Sr.", and the like. No comma has ever been necessary before "III", "IV", etc. From the Chicago Manual of Style (http://ow.ly/gcv0):But please note that within text, if you decide to use the more traditional comma before Jr. or Sr., the function of the comma is to set off these abbreviations, so an additional comma is needed after the abbreviation if the sentence continues (as in my first sentence above).


Do you separate the suffix Jr with a comma?

noooooooooooooooooo actually, there is a specific comma rule that pertains to this - A comma would be used both before and after the designations of "Jr." or "Sr.," as long as the sentence continues. If the designation is at the end of the sentence, then a comma is used only before it.


Should a comma be used before Jr and Sr in a person's name?

Yes. Example: "Martin Luther King, Jr." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If the name is written in the usual order (e.g., "Martin Luther King Jr."), you may or may not use the comma, depending on your personal preference. But if you're writing for a publication, it will depend on the house style of that publisher. If the name is written in the reverse order (e.g., "King, Martin Luther, Jr."), in alphabetical lists, for example, use the comma. Although Jr., Sr., etc., are sometimes regarded as parenthetic, they are part of the legal name and should not be set off with commas. Examples: John Wilson Jr. Bob Jones Sr. James Stowers III
