In some families a male child is name after his father (using the entire name)
Father - John Herbert Alfred Jones
Son - John Herbert Alfred Jones Jr. (the second)
Grandson - John Herbert Alfred Jones III (the third)
This naming system is most common in male offspring as female offspring tend to marry and change their names, thus breaking the line.
