We are giving our son his fathers first and middle name. ( Last name too of course) I am curious to know if we are to "legally use" the word junior or the II on legal papers such as birth certificate and such. Anyone know anything about this?

Ordinarily, Jr. and III appear on birth certificates and other legal documents. Usually, a comma is placed before Jr. because the title is parenthetical, for example, John F. Kennedy, Jr.

yes you can use either JR or II its fine. One of my sons is a III> On your birth certificate you might want to use JR though. Wish you the best of luck. Good luck on your baby.

You need to use Jr or II to seperate the two otherwise it causes problems later on with certain records and can cause mixups. On my marriage license they put my father-in-laws name instead of my hubands who was a Jr and it caused some problems. So yes you need to use Jr or II or make the name different some how so it isn't as easy to mix up.

you could use either or, it doesnt matter they both mean the same (jr)...and if by any chance..when the son gets older and they going to fill out a form the dad needs to write (sr ) on he's, and the son( jr) on he's, thats how my husband and my son do.

My son is a junior. On his BC we wrote Jr. If you dont want to then thats fine... its ur kid. And im not sure what ur ? is but if you mean do you HAVE to write out Jr on his BC then the answer is NO... And if you dont write it on his BC then when you write it on other things then you wont have to wirite it b/c Jr wont b his legal name. Does that make sense?? If you dont write Jr on his BC when you fill out his papers for school or a DL you wont have to write Jr. BUT if you do write jr on his BC then wen you feel out other papers u'll have to write Jr. But you dont have to put Jr or the II on his BC if you dont want to. Hope you understand. GL

no u dont have to but what my parents did to my brother was give him my dads name, no middle name, our last name and then jr. at the end.

i know some ppl who did and some who didn't. if you don't when you look at legal records the only way you could tell them apart is by the birth date. so i would

I think it's always a bit sad when children aren't given their "own" first name and have to be called "Junior" all their life - it must feel a bit strange when they grow up. Surely it feels much nicer to have your own identity. Maybe you could use the fathers name as a middle name instead. :-)
