I was hoping on my last pregnancy to have a boy so he could be a Jr. I dont see anything wrong with it. He wouldve still had his own identity, so i dont completely understand that part of why not. And if you have a boy he would be the first born son, not his firstborn, but still your firstborn. I would say if that's what you want to do,then its your son & your choice to do it.

In my personal opinion, I wouldn't do it. I think every child should have their own name and identity.

My step dad when he was with his ex wife they were suppose to have twins and the boy was a Jr that baby didn't even make kt half way through the pregnancy. When him and my mom got together and had a baby my mom used the father's name just not as jr. My step dad's name is Dameon And my baby brothers name is Dameon Treavon Landon we call him treavon though. You could do something like

It's your decision. Although it's usually for the 1st son I personally see nothing wrong with giving it to the 2nd or 3rd or 4th.

Junior is supposed to be the 1st born son.
My boyfriend 1st born son is not a Jr. We have decided to not name our child Jr. For the sake of the kids when they grow up..

I have a son from a previous relationship. I didnt name him Jr. Cause me n his father wasnt seeing eye to eye at that time. However he ended up having another son 2yrs after mines n they named him Jr....My son is 5yrs old and he ask me why do his brother have the same name as his daddy and he dont. And it makes him sad....Words of a 5yr old.

So I wouldnt suggest that the 2nd or 3rd born son be a Jr. Just the 1st born.

Just my opinion.
