If a baby has the father's first name, but not same middle name, can they still be a Jr., or a III?

I say yes. Technically you can put anything on that birth certificate that you want to.
My son is a Jr. with a different middle name

No the whole name has to be the same before you make them a Jr. or a III.

Many of my friends and family gave their sons Jr. and III names and I would not recommend it, too confusing for everyone. I would call my brother's friend up to see if my brother was at his house, and I always have to remember that his father and he have the same names and one is a junior. I was getting a hold of his friend last night to talk to him about my brother's condition and I ended up getting his dad. I had said my brother's friends father's name and not Jr. He got confused and so did I.

The designation cannot be the same however I do know of people who have given their child the same first and last name and a different middle name and called him Junior as a nickname.
I also know of a couple that named their son first and last name of the father and different middle name and that was the name they called him (to differentiate between father and son) but ties are to the father with the same initials.

Yes. My brother is, let's say, John George Brown IV, making grandpa 'Sonny', but the middle name 'George' was only added by my great-great-grandfather, John Brown Jr. So my brother is BOTH John Brown VI and John George Brown IV. If my brother has a son and names his after dad, the child will be John George Brown VII and John Brown V. This probably won't work unless the child's grandfather and father share the same name, otherwise, it's a little confusing. ^_^'

If the father and son have the same first, middle, and last name then it is the III, if the same first and last, but different middle, then it is a Jr.

No, in order for the baby to be a Jr. or the second, the baby would have to have the exact name and spelling of the Daddy. Sorry!
Have a wonderful day!

no all three names have to be the same i know because my little brother has my dad's first and last name but the middle name is different and he is not considered a jr.

no - because they don't have the same name. They have to be the 3rd one with the same name for a III

Typically they are a junior or a III if all three names are identical.
