There are no official rules, but most people use the numbering system only for each successive son, not for multiple siblings... unless you're George Foreman.

John the 6th has a son and he becomes John the 7th. John the 7th has a son and he would then become John the 8th. If he chose to name his son by the same name.
If John the 6th named his subsequent sons John the 8th and John the 9th, that would be pretty odd. Why have three sons named John, doesn't make sense.

A true line of generations would wait for the 7th to have a son.
However, anyone has the right to LEGALLY name their other sons the 8th, etc....
Heck, in the monarchies, they don't even have to legally hold the same name on their birth certificate to be called "John the 7th". The guy's name might be charles. LOL

No i don't think it is right to name your sons the 7th, 8th etc. i think that they should what and let the son name his son the 8th if he choses to. The whole thing behind that is by generation. 1st then 2nd generation and so on. The 8th John should be in the 8th generation.

nicely, there are various categories of names that i admire and have on my call checklist, so i do no longer likely have any policies for that. I do have policies on names that i could truthfully use for my infants nevertheless: a million. No unisex names. i could like my daughters to have solid, female names and my sons to have solid, masculine names. (besides the reality that i'm greater in all probability to chill out this rule bearing directly to female names on boys, on condition that i admire some boys' names that are actually considered girly!) 2. No misspelled or made up names. 3. No suitable 10 names! i do no longer want my new child to be considered one of 5 Isabellas or Aidans interior the class, even nevertheless they are incredible names. 4. No unrecognisable names, or names that are confusing for the known man or woman to spell or pronounce. 5. No names which rhyme with my call (i in my view like the call Scarlett, yet my call is Charlotte so i can not use it!) 6. No alliteration, the two with first and midsection call or first call and surname. 7. No matchy names e.g. rhyming names for twins, or names for siblings which start up with a similar letter or have an extremely glaring topic. i think of that covers each and every little thing! those are my strict policies besides. :)

There isn't really a rule. But it would just be right to have the 7th to name him the 8th.

I believe only if you are George Foreman you name your consecutive sons George (or John) Jr, III, IV, V and so on....so let either Jr or the III name their son after them and carry on the tradition!

I would not do it for siblings. The 6th, 7th, etc. shows generations.

Gotta wait OR you really can do what ever you want. George Forman, the boxer, did. He named all his sons George
