An example of a forename is "John" in the full name "John Smith".
The surname is the name used to identify the members of a family, apart from each member's given name. For example: John Smith- Smith is his surname.
Example: John Smith DDS.
When writing a name in last name first format, suffixes like Jr. or Sr. typically follow the last name. For example, John Smith Jr. would be written as Smith, John Jr. and John Smith Jr. Sr. would be written as Smith, John Jr. Sr.
Ph.D comes after the name. For example, John Doe, Ph.D.
Example: John Smith M.S.
Invitations are usually written with the husband's name first. For example: "Mr. and Mrs. John Smith", "John and Mary Smith" or "Mr. John Smith and Mrs. Mary Smith". The latter is the correct form of address if the couple has divorced.
Yes, a comma is typically used after a name when including "Senior" to clarify that it is part of the individual's name, not a generational designation. For example, "John Smith, Sr." would be the correct format.
Last name is the name of the family-father's last name, or mother's last name. First name is the name given to certain member's of the family. For example: John Smith. Smith is the name of the family (father's family or mother's family). John is a specific member of the Smith family.
No, typically you would use either "Dr." before the name or include educational credentials after the name, not both. For example, you could use "Dr. John Smith" or "John Smith, PhD."
The roman numeral indicates how many times that name has been reused in a bloodline. For example, if John Smith names his son John Smith, then the son will be named John Smith Jr. Now, if John Smith Jr. names his son John Smith, then the son will be named John Smith III (the third), and so on and so forth. In the minds of many, using Roman numerals adds "class" to the name.
It depends on how many generations before you had the same name. For example, If your name is John Smith, and both your father and grandfather have the same name, then you would be legally known as John Smith III.
