Can a daughter be a "Junior"?

Answer 1

I've always wished there was another prefix for female Jr.s. Just out of respect for gender. To me "Ms." or "Mrs." is not a derogative term, maybe I'm old fashioned. Maybe...Juniess? LOL Does anybody know what I'm getting at?

Answer 2

HI, Yes a daughter can be a junior.

Answer 3

I am a junior and so is my aunt. Neither of us have Jr. on our birth certificates, we just have the same names as our mothers.

A personal problem I have encountered is still being called Little Sheri at the age of 37.

A more serious problem is credit reports. Until I got married we had problems with credit reporting agencies not looking at the social security number and just attaching the credit to the first name they pulled up.

Answer 4

though it is not nearly as common as the male juniors.. there are female juniors. it does create a lot of complications.. like when you're picking up prescriptions at the pharmacy. People don't think of a female junior possibility and a lot of time assume one is the other on paper.

Answer 5

Lucille Ball named her daughter Lucy, but they don't put Junior at the end. So in a way yea, I guess.

Answer 6

I knew a girl in high school who was a Junior (and it was on her birth certificate), but she’s the only female Jr. I’ve ever known. And personally, I found it a little odd. I always wondered what happened when she married and changed her last name (assuming she did)--did she keep/was she legally required to keep the Junior?

Answer 7

Sure. How about a different middle name that way you don't officially need "junior".

Answer 8

This is one of those silly, unwritten--yet prevalent social mores that puts the "hush" on girls being named after their birth mothers....but it's OK to be named after your grandmother.

I personally don't see anything wrong with girls being named after their mothers.....as long as they don't have names like Jade, Kally or Toggle.

Answer 9

i don't think any one should be called junior

Answer 10

of course
