Primarily in the United States (and never in the United Kingdom), boys who should be styled "junior" are sometimes incorrectly labeled with the suffix "II", particularly if there is a third or fourth with the same name. Even if a legal title, this is socially incorrect; strictly speaking, "II", pronounced "the second", refers to a boy who is named after his grandfather, uncle, or cousin. The suffixes "II", "III", etc., may also be written "2nd", "3rd", etc.

Barkley Hound is correct: The only situation in which "II" is used correctly is when the name has skipped a generation, etc.--not in the case of a "Jr.".

Your question is NOT clear..
Are you saying that Bill Spears is the father and is son is named Bill the 2nd or is he called Bill Jr.???? I have not heard anyone call their son Blah the 2nd//////...... It is generally used though, as Bill Jr.

Generally, "the second" is only used in retrospect -- if the person is followed by a like-named kid, who would be "the third." "The second" would probably be known as "Junior" during his lifetime (although not necessarily called that, of course).

You would have for example, Billy Bob Jr. II
Jr. comes first, and generally the number is in Roman numerals.
1-I
2-II
3-III
4-IV
5-V
So, yes.

No. I't one or the other, but "the second" is rarely used in U.S.
