There's more to this than I imagined. From Wikipedia: In the United States the most common name suffixes are senior and junior, which are written with a capital first letter (Sr. and Jr.) with or without an interceding comma. In Britain these are rarer, but when they are used the abbreviations are Snr and Jnr, respectively. The use of these social terms is governed by etiquette, but not enshrined in law. According to The Emily Post Institute, an authority on etiquette, the term Jr. can be correctly used only if a male child's first, middle, and last names are identical to his father's (current) names. When a male child has the same name as his grandfather, uncle or male cousin, but not his father, he can use the II suffix, which is pronounced, "the second". ... In the United Kingdom, the suffixes "Snr." and "Jnr." are rare, and not usually considered part of a person's name as such. Ordinal suffixes such as "III" are generally reserved for monarchs; however, the General Register Office has stated that, whereas it would normally reject a string of symbols or letters that "has no intrinsic sense of being a name" when registering a child, a suffix such as "III" would be accepted. Those who inherit a title of nobility do not use ordinal suffixes, but are distinguished from any ancestors with the same name by their position in the order of succession; for example Arthur Wellesley, 2nd Duke of Wellington is thus distinguished from his father, Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. Where I've met people in Ireland who are named after their father, they generally just use a variation of their name, e.g. Michael and his son Mick. I've just realized that the example I gave above also applies to German racing driver Michael Schumacher and his racing driver son Mick Schumacher. I honestly wasn't thinking of them when I wrote it.1 point

I'm not sure but I think you have to have the same middle name here in the US, in order to officially attach the title "Junior". Is that correct Spike?1 point -
The practice of naming children after their parents seems to be more prevalent in the US than over here, although it's certainly not uncommon. Giving the child the same middle name would appear to be a step too far.1 point

Ray Kohn's Dukes Show

Thanks Hoss. I still don't know how to post a link and maybe that's best. If I knew how to do that stuff I'd probably get carried away with it. Do you want to know how much tire pressure to put in a 1967 Model 120 International tractor? I'd post that. In fact, I'd post it even if you didn't want to know or didn't care. I'd let you know how the temperature, ground conditions and load you're hauling will affect pressure. I'll let you know how much pressure to put in the back tires on Tuesday and front tires on Saturday. Yep, the world is a better place because I don't know how to post links.1 point -

Skipper Duke reacted to Brian Coltrane for a topic
That's what this is. (We can't help it if they keep changing the name of the shindig, ya know?) It was "DukesFest" for years, so we made a "DukesFest" topic in the forums. Now it's "Hazzard Homecoming" because Ben gave/sold the name "DukesFest" to John, but when John ran the shindig in Atlanta, he lost his shirt. We still refer to it as DukesFest because we're too lazy to keep changing the forums. And we've got the cast categories in the forums as well, so if a cast member is appearing someplace individually, it can be posted there. When ya get right down to it, everybody posts stuff all over the place, so between the Forums and the home page, word seems to get out. We could create another forums category but my head would explode.1 point -

Yep same middle name too unfortunately. When he got into a little credit card trouble about 10 years ago my credit became collateral damage I'm assuming due to computer software not realizing we were two different people. The few credit card accounts I had got cancelled even though I never had even a late payment. Of course since they got cancelled my credit took a hit too. That was a fun cluster to try and clear up. That's one thing new parents should think about before naming their children after other family members, at least change the middle name.0 points -

Tough indeed Cousin Roger. 6 castaways are gone now. Only Tina Louise(Ginger) left. Oh btw(by the way) cousin, my old Facebook was hacked Robert John Broadhurst II(Bobby John). It has been stolen. Delete and block it from your Facebook and add my new account of Robert Broadhurst.0 points -
