He can keep or drop the JR, as he chooses. Many keep it for a while and drop it later. For example the entertainer, Sammy Davis, Jr., continued to use "JR" for several years after his father died, but was known simply as "Sammy Davis" during the last years of his life. On the other hand, when speaking of father and son historical figures of the same name, it is not unusual to use SR and JR decades or centuries after they have died, as that is often the easiest way of telling them apart. As a result, 2000 years after they lived, we still speak of Pliny the Elder and Pliny the Younger, which was the ancient Roman way of saying SR and JR in Latin.

When do you drop Jr after your name?

There is nothing to force you to have it in the first place, it's just to disinguish between two people, but if you do adopt it, then there is no reason to drop it (you are free to do so though, obviously). e.g. If you are junior because your father has the same name, then you are still the junior of the two after the father dies

Does John Doe third become John Doe Junior when his senior grandfather dies?

Naming people "Sr." and "Jr." is a separate system from naming them "Second," "Third," "First," etc. Commonly, John Doe, Jr. can drop the "Jr." from his name after John Doe, Sr. dies, but he does not have to. For example, Sammy Davis, Jr., the famous black entertainer, continued to use "Jr." for many years after his father, Sammy Davis, Sr., died. He did, eventually, call himself simply, Sammy Davis. Naming people "I," "II," "III," etc. is a completely separate system and does not even require that III be the son of II. John Doe III could be the son of Jason Doe, and the nephew, younger cousin, or other relative of John Doe II, as long as both are recognized as being in the same family. The numbering does not change when one of them dies. John Doe IV, the son of John Doe III and the grandson of John Doe II, will always be John Doe IV, even after I, II and III have died. He may as a matter of convenience, choose to drop the number, or, if he has a son named John Doe V, he might choose to be John Doe, Sr., to his son's John Doe, Jr.

Should junior change to 2nd after senior dies?

Generally speaking, when John Doe, Jr. is given his name, it stays with him. He can change it later, but if he doesn't, he keeps that name. If his father (his namesake - the person after whom he was named) dies, John Doe, Jr.'s name remains the same. He is still his father's son, or, if you like, his namesake's son.


How do you write a husband and wife's first names when the husband is a jr?

When the husband is a 'Jr.' and your letter is formal and not private you would address it (example:) Mr. John Doe, Jr., and Mrs. Jane Doe or it is still fine to put: Mr. & Mrs. John Doe, Jr. If you know the couple as friends then in the letter or note you can just put their first names and drop the Jr.
