If you name your son after his father...?
...do you use Jr. or II?
Thanks everyone. I am reading up on it and it seems that Jr. is the appropriate suffix to use.
His name is VERY original and unusual. That's why I want to use it again. I like the idea of "Deuce" though. Kind of unexpected.

It depends is the father is a Jr., if not then the son would be a Jr. If the father is a Jr. it would II. Hope this helps

My ex's name is Phil and we called my son Phillip. When he applied for a job he used Phillip M B_____ Jr. on the application. A few years ago he wanted to be called Phil. He is 29. But that's up to the parents.

Jr. It is II if the name skipped a generation (e.g., you are naming him after his grandfather).

either/or, although second might also designate a second time a name was used for someone, not just a son being named after his father-such as if a father has two daughters and one of them has his grandson, she might name him after her father and use II. using II might preferable to keep the child's nickname from being "junior".

Either is fine, but i think Jr would be cool

Junior
but why would you? there are so many wonderful names in the world, you should go for something original or different to the family.

you could use either.
If you think they or you plan on carrying on the name. I would use the II and then III so forth
