Best Answer

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.

How do you address someone not a Junior but a II?

To have a II (roman numeral 2 (two)) in a name will happen almost the same way someone is named with a jr. You get your fathers name and add jr. you get your grandfathers name and add II. If your father has the II already (like my father) you get your name to end with III (like in my name) after that the sequence is IV, V, VI (like star wars) VII, VIII, IX, X get more at this website.Roman NumeralsChart


How do you name a Jr vs II vs III?

If your name is John Henry Doe and you name your son John Henry Doe, you then become Senior (Sr.) and your son Junior (Jr.), not the second (II). If your son John Henry Doe, Jr. names his son (your grandson) the same, his son then becomes 'the third"', i.e. John Henry Doe III. However, if you name your son Richard Henry or John Harold, anything but John Henry Doe, but he still names his son (your grandson) after you, your grandson then becomes John Henry Doe II. Likewise if your brother Edward Charles Doe names his son after you, that child (your nephew) would also be John Henry Doe II. A 'junior" always has the same name as his father whereas "the second" is not named for his father but does have the same name as an older relative (grandfather, uncle, cousin, etc.). The 'third" is the third descendant in a family with the same name in either direct or indirect line. In everyday practice, the Sr., Jr., III are often only used when all parties are living but genealogically it is important to maintain the correct title to prevent confusion.


Where do we put suffix on name listing?

Suffixes like Jr., Sr., II, III, etc. are typically added after the last name when listing names. For example, John Smith Jr.


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).
