is my son considered the 3rd??

[gabbymommyof2]

My husband is named after his dad first andlast name but they both have their moms last name too. If i namey son after my husband is he gonna be the third? He wont have my last name only his dads? I hope u understand me lol...

My brother in law is a jr. His name is Steven and his dads legal name on his birth certificate says Stevie. But his drivers license, etc say Steven. So sr is technically Stevie and jr is Steven.

On that site, It tells you how both are correct.

I'm not tryin' to argue with any one, we all have different opinions. That's the traditional way Is It has to be the exact same but you can name your child however you want. But, I wanted to post this site's Information and maybe It might help. I put a space between the "." and "com" so It wouldn't bleep the link out.

I agree ^^
my son will be the 4th and all generations have different middle names not because culture but because thats just how we chose it.
No one elses choice but your own :]

Sorry but like I've said before, IT'S YOUR CHOICE. My culture is not wrong and my husband and his father's names are not wrong just because they were not named according to "the rules."

Exactly^^^

[Lanny_Licorice]

From what I was told, heard, read, etc. the names have to be an EXACT match. For example, It can't be Bob Jacob Williams Jr. and then Bob Jacob Williams Smith the 3rd. The names aren't Identical, therefore, won't be considered the 3rd.

there is no right answer. i guess it just depends on tradition and culture. just name your baby whatever you want, it's your choice.

No wat juniormommy said is right. My brother is the 4th .. the same has to be exactly the same otherwise he is not a junior 3rd or watever else.  My great grandpa, grandpa, dad, n brother all have the same exact first middle n last name so therefore they r senior jr 3rd n 4th. If its not the same then he not none of those

[danika0913]

Technically my son would be the 8th haven but since all the generations have different middle names but the same first and last he is not considered a junior. None of them were.

[gabbymommyof2]

Oh wow thanks ladies for your answers....  im just gonna  name him like his dad first and last name :)

[DaisyAS]

there are no strict rules on names with jr, third, etc. my husband is a jr and he has his mother's maiden name as his middle name, and so does his father. my son will be the third and will have my maiden name as his middle name also. it is a tradition in my culture.

[juniorsmommyx3]

I was told that for the baby to be considered a junior or the third he has to have the same exact name as the father. If your husband does not have the name junior, then your son wouldnt be the third. If your giving him your husband exact name, then your son will be junior. I am naming my son after his dad, I was going to do Jr but I want to give baby my last name also so therefore he can't be a junior.

[gabbymommyof2]

Thank you so much for the reply... Oh so they can all have the moms last name and still considered junior or third?

[vivi2013]

In order for him to be the 3 he needs to have ur husband first and last name and off course u can put ur last name too as long as ur husbands last name cames last lol ... Hope u understand ..
