My fiance is a 3rd but we had another name picked out for a boy so we've decided to name our next son the 4th to keep the tradition going. In my oppinion it is completely up to you two.  There isnt a right or wrong

I can see why you would want your son to be a Jr but you still have to think about the feelings of his first son. Wouldnt he wonder why he wasn't given that name? It could make him feel insecure or not good enough to be given his fathers name. That's just my opinion though

My son took my husbands first name. I didn't want him to be a junior so i gave him a different middle name. In order to be a junior you have to have the same first middle and last name. Maybe you guys can compromise and do something like that

This US my 4th baby 2 of the older kids are not my husbands an we have a daughter together and now 15.5 weeks along and we agreed that if the baby is a boy we will name himself after daddy so he would be a Jr and carry his name on in life.
