Do you think that it's a good idea to name your child a "Jr" ?

I wouldn't want a Jr but that is just my preference. Luckily my husband doesn't like the Jr idea either so it worked out well.

I named my son gregg Nathanial, grandpa and dad are both named gregg but go by thier middle names, danial and Michael, so i got to pick out his middle name which is what we will call him unless he changes his mind when hes older!

My son was supposed to be a William Wallace III...my bf was dead set on using his name..he's like it's tradition so we have to. Eventually I talked him into only using the middle name (I don't like his middle name either.. but it's better than having to use his full name..). So now my son's name will be Nolan. (:

The father of my son  is a Jr and he says he doesn't like it were not naming our son after him because he wants his son to have his own identity.

If you and the dad are together.  My sister did it and now regrets it! She wants her son to be different. Children live up to their names so it just depends. Like the other said to each his own.

My son will be a Jr. Only because i love the name combination and Wright is a hard last name to match up really good.

I wouldn't do it because I don't like my husband's name but I don't see anything wrong with it personally

I'm not a fan either... I want my son to have his own name. Although I am giving him his fathers name backwards it will still be pronounced differently and he will have his own middle name!

It just depends on what you like though.  If you like it... Go for it.
