DH, FIL and GFIL all have the same first name but different middle names, no jr or III. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junior-with-a-different-middle-name#post-606160 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 14:35:59 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 606160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never heard of a Junior without the same first middle or last name as his dad. if you change part of the name, why keep the Jr? hmm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junior-with-a-different-middle-name#post-606146 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 14:31:23 +0000 ladyfingers 606146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope - my husband has the same first name as his dad but a different middle name. He's not a junior. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junior-with-a-different-middle-name#post-606029 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 13:56:43 +0000 mrs. bird 606029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is a III and he &amp; his dad do not share all the same names (in their culture it is typical to have many names, DH has 5). if we when a son, they will share DH's first &amp; last name and be a IV, but go by a second first name that will be their own. i think it depends on the culture, but in the US i think jrs usually have the same full name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junior-with-a-different-middle-name#post-606007 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 13:50:49 +0000 lomom 606007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our Junior is going to have thd same first and middle (and last of course lol) names. DH actually has the same first name as his dad but different middle name so he isn't a Junior and really wants a Junior because of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junior-with-a-different-middle-name#post-604886 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 09:15:37 +0000 GrapeCrush 604886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My uncle and cousin both have the same first and last name, but middle is different. i don't think they put Jr. at the end though of my cousins, but everyone called them frank jr./frank sr. anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junior-with-a-different-middle-name#post-604876 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 09:13:38 +0000 lawbee11 604876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can still call him Junior, but a true junior has same first and middle name as father. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junior-with-a-different-middle-name#post-604869 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 09:11:46 +0000 mrs. wagon 604869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is!! Both Wagons Sr. and Jr.'s middle names are their Korean names, so they don't share a middle name or a middle initial. But we still added the Jr. suffix on his birth certificate with no issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junior-with-a-different-middle-name#post-604853 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 09:05:09 +0000 sera_87 604853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! My dad was a jr but had his own middle name (his moms dads name) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junior-with-a-different-middle-name#post-604850 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 09:04:22 +0000 MamaMoose 604850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah if the names aren't exactly the same the child wouldn't be a true junior. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junior-with-a-different-middle-name#post-604832 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 08:58:43 +0000 Shutterbug 604832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH has the same first name as his dad, but his middle name is different, so he's not a Jr. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junior-with-a-different-middle-name#post-604828 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 08:57:19 +0000 mamabolt 604828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with you, thought a Jr. was only if it was the exact same name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junior-with-a-different-middle-name#post-604826 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 08:56:43 +0000 Dandelion 604826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, my grandfather didn't have a middle name, and my uncle does. They share the same first name, though. I don't think there's an official Jr. with his name, though. My cousin, my uncle's oldest son, is a jr. to my uncle, though, cause I think they match exactly. I'm still not sure if he's got an official Jr. by his name, either, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/junior-with-a-different-middle-name#post-604816 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 08:54:29 +0000 lomom 604816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always thought a Junior had the same first middle and last name as their father. I've had probably 6-8 people ask me if my Junior will have a different middle name. </p> <p>Have you ever heard of someone being a Junior without having the same full name as their father? </p>
