I've noticed not a lot of Jr's

[peaches0329]

Are ppl just not naming their children after the father's and the father's father anymore?

[peaches0329]

I blieve w that identity think is easy to clear up. My niece is named after my mom. Same first n last. N the age difference is what helps her all the time...lolz

[kellybigbelly]

Someone else mentioned it about the identity. It has happened to my lived ones. Dad filled for bankruptcy and went on sons credit. Hard to clear up and lots of money. I heard it's common??? Crazy and hard to believe.

If we have a boy he will be a Jr. after his daddy. Vincent Paul ******* Jr. We will call him Jr. :) and if it's a girl Isabella MarLin :)

I personally like the idea of picking a name and I like sort of uncommon names. But my boyfriend has his heart set on a Jr for this baby since it will be our first boy. I've never liked the idea of naming my child after someone else. But if it makes him happy, I'm ok with it. So we have a Robert William.

My husband  is the 3rd. But his cousin pasted away and we decided  to give our son my hubby's first name and his cousins name as the middle name.

I don't understand the whole identity thing...lmbo just bcuz u have the same name as someone that doesn't make u the same person. I was just wondering y no one is naming their boys jrs. My husband family believe in recycling names of u will say that. It's like everyone has someone's name. Lmbo. I think it's cute but confusing. If I have a boy I'm naming my son jr

[unknown_jones]

(If boy, idk what I'm having) Not a Jr, but close. Same first n last, different middle name.

[showard022]

My husband was totally against naming our first a jr. I want to give this little pumpkin my husband's name for his middle name because it sounds nice but he is still wants to use my grandfather's name instead. We may still use it.

My husband's the 3rd and if we have a boy we're naming him the 4th. I like the idea of it. Maybe a little old school but we both like it and so do both our family's

[Mommys5blessings]

My son will be a Jr. My husband didn't want him to be at first but mommy always wins lol. I always wanted my first son to be a Jr. We already have 4 girls now.

[isaknhenrysmama]

Personally I would never name a Jr. The reason being that working in collections we would get a lot of Jr's getting billed for father's and vice versa. We had a client who could not purchase a house because his credit reflected his fathers. It is very difficult in Dr's offices and other places for Jr's and sr. Just a caution.

[Angeline722]

My oldest is named after both of us. He's Mexican American. My name is Angeline, my husband's is Rodolfo. My son is Angel Rodolfo :)

[mammatanz]

My husbands name is Sean, and we are naming our son the same but the middle names are going to be different. We are unsure if we are putting Jr at the end, I've heard that because the middle names are different that they aren't a jr. So we are not sure what to do.

[mommaof42015]

We are. My husband is the only child. And we have 3 girls already. So he picked Tyler Stephen Jr. But we will call him.Tj.

[weezy789]

My boyfriend is the IV and if our baby is a boy he wants it to be the V to carry on the tradition but I think he's open for discussion and compromise on the issue. We'll see.

[worriedmomtobe2014]

I wanted our son to have his own name to but my fiance insisted it be jr....so now I just am.dealing with it...I wanted our sons name to.be aiden but guess that's out of the pic so ....

[worriedmomtobe2014]

I am our baby boy is going to be William Gary ********Jr.after his handsome daddy but your right not a lot of jrs

[Suly787]

I will want my baby to have his own identity. I do like my husband name but I want my baby to be unique and have a different name than him.

[vsam_88]

My boyfriend is a Jr and his dad really wanted a 3rd but my boyfriend said no do to his name he is Hispanic and its hard to say... His name is Constancio I love it but both my boys names he picked out

[momof3ld]

My husband said he wants his son to have his own identity and was against the jr. Thing

[kgordon2013]

Our baby is getting named after his father but not a Jr. My husbands name is Vincent  Christopher and he played bball in school and got the nickname Vince Carter so back home he is Carter. Our baby boy will be Carter Kristopher, still after his father but with his  own identity. My fourteen yr old was also not a Jr. I guess it's just my preference.

[chloegc1023]

I'm not naming my son after my husband but baby will be getting his middle name, mainly cuz we can't think of anything else to give.  I personally wouldn't want to name my son after my hubbys first name cuz his first name is too common and I also think it's kinda cliche.  I have an uncommon name, and our son had one also so I wanted to keep it that way. Just my opinion. I do know someone at work that will be naming their kid jr, tho..  

[GeekMom1213]

I think people want their children to have their own identity instead of the expectation that they'll live up to someone else's example. I think it's more of a generational thing, a cultural tradition that's become much less popular.
