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.

What if i put jr on my son's birth certificate instead of the second?

Yes, you can call your son "Junior" if you are the 2nd. Your son would also be also the 3rd. Presumably your father, the 1st, is no longer living so you are the "Senior." If your father is the 1st and is still living, then he is the "Senior" and you are the "Junior." You and your son cannot both be "Junior" at the same time.


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.

If you name your son after your father can he be a junior or II?

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.
