AnswerHe should be named II. You should only use Jr. where the child has the same name as his father. AnswerIf you name your son after your father, your father was the first of that name in your family, and no one else in the family has that name now (a cousin named for your father, for example), then you can call your son "the second" (or II). You can also style your son as "Junior" if you link, as long as your father is still living. (If there is a cousin named for your father and using both the same first name and surname, then your son might be "the third." )

Note that neither the II nor "Junior" is part of your son's name. Both are ways of saying, "the younger" as a way of distinguishing him from your father and others with the same name in your family.

Ultimately, it is up to you and your father, and evetually your son, how to style him since there are no hard and fast rules, and certainly no laws or regulations on the subject.

If your son is named after his father, he can be called a "junior" if he shares the exact same first, middle, and last name. If he shares the first and last name but not the middle name, he would be referred to as "II" (the second).

What do you need to name your son to make him a junior?

If you want your son to be a "junior", you'll name him after his father. For instance, if his father's name is "John Lee Doe", your son would be named "John Lee Doe, Jr." Then you could call him "Junior" for short.


When should Jr or II be used with a persons name to show relationship?

Senior & Junior are used for direct relation, like father and son. I & II are used in indrect relation as when a boy (II) is named after his grandfather(I). When the boy (II) has a son and passes on the same name, that son becomes (III).


If Father is a Junior and alive is his son the second?

It's confusing so here goes:If the father's father's name is John Smith and has a son they call John Smith Jr., then it makes the son's father John Smith, Sr.If John Smith Jr., has a son and calls him John Smith, Jr., then it's 'John Smith Jr. II, but if John Smith Jr., calls his son Timothy Smith then there is no Jr. II behind it. Junior is only applied when the first and last name is the same of the father of the child.

In order for a son to become a jr does he have to have the same middle name as his father?

Yes. "Junior" signifies that the entire name is the same. The only difference is the use of "Jr." If the whole name is repeated, but it's not the son (let's say it's the grandson), then it's II ("the second") and not "junior."

What is Jr and what is the second?

When yu have the same name as your father, you are a Junior (Jr.) When you have the same name as another member of the family that is NOT your father, (you and grandfather have same name) you would become a second (II)


When to use II in a name?

Commonly, if you have a parent whose name is the same as yours, the father's name may be senior, yours may be junior, and your child would be The II. If your mother has the same name, her name would be based off the grandparent's name (Jr if the grandparent's name is a senior), and so on. The II is normally used after the family has been named Senior and Junior of a same family member's name. I could be wrong though, because a junior can be named The II too.


What is II after English names eg John Smith II?

II just refers to the second in his family to have that name. I guess you can say so people wont get confused. Like if my grandfather's name was John Smith and my father had that same name, my name would be John Smith III. ---- A son who has exactly the same name as his father is normally styled "junior," as in John F. Smith, Jr. A third generation with the same name would be styled "the third," written John F. Smith III. (Note the comma before "Jr." but not before "III.")When "II" is used ("the second"), it's usually the case that the second is a descendant of but not the son of the first. For example, John F. Smith has a son named George Smith. Then George has a son and names him John F. Smith. He would be styled John F. Smith II ("the second"), after his grandfather, not his father.
