If father and son have same first and last name but son has a middle name and father doesn't is son still considered a junior?
No. In order to be called a junior, the son must have the same name as his father, exactly the same name with no variation. Adding a middle name for a child of a father with no middle name removes the possibility of naming that child as a 'junior'.John Wesley Jones cannot be John Wesley Jones, Jr. if his father is named simply John Jones.
Is the name junior a weird name for a guy?
Yes You may be talking about a guy whose legal name is Junior. This is not usually the case. When a boy is named after his father, he will often sign his name with 'jr' at the end, and he is often called Junior as a nickname. Junior would be an unusual legal name, especially if it is his father's name as well. His father would be Junior Senior, and he would be Junior Junior. Imagine if their family name is Senior. they would be Junior Senior Senior, and Junior Senior Junior. If the son is in the military, he might be Major Junior Senior, Junior, Camp Jejune.
Father clayton lancing son clayton Adam granson clayton david is son junior or the second and the grandson the third?
The son "Clayton Adams" would not be a Junior or the Second. The Grandson "Clayton David" would not be the 3rd. And the reason for this is because in order for the son to be name a Junior or 2nd he would have to be named after his father which he is not. And the grandson would have to be named after his grand father and father as he is not. Yes,they may all share the same FIRST NAME,but they all three have DIFFERENT MIDDLE NAMES. In order to name Clayton Lancing's son Clayton Adams a Junior or 2nd,Clayton Adams middle name would also have to be Lancing as well as Clayton David to be the 3rd.
