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)
How does a son become II?
There is no legal ruling on this, but the following format is the one that is most commonly used. In all cases, the names must match exactly (that means first, middle, and last). If a son has the same name as his father, that son is a Jr. If a son has the same name as his grandfather or uncle, that son is a II. If a son's father is a Jr. or a II, he is a III. Sometimes II is used instead of Jr., but that is not common (and to some interpretations not correct).
If a man is named after his great grandfather not his father and no other person shares that name but them should he be a II?
Say your grandfather's name was Samuel Edward Smith and as you say you have the same name. It would be much easier to either have a Jr., or a II behind it. Why? Someone eventually in your family is going to look up family re genealogy and having same names can be very complicated as well as doing business such as signing checks, contracts, etc.

How do you name a Jr vs II?
A man with the same name as his father remains a Jr. his son would be III. II is only used for naming a son after ANOTHER family member such as an uncle or grandfather and ONLY when all names are exactly the same (FIRST MIDDLE LAST). A Junior never becomes a II. Try explaining "it's automatic" to the Soc Sec Admin, IRS, your employer, and countless others who have legal documents with your Jr. on record. I guess you could LEGALLY change your suffix from Junior to II but why?!?! It is not consistent with genealogical nor historical precedent.
What do you call Jr or Sr when it follows a last name?
When "Jr" or "Sr" follows a last name, it is called a suffix or a generational suffix. It is used to indicate that a person has the same name as their father or grandfather respectively.
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.
