Abstract
This article discusses the etiquette ‘rules’ governing the name suffixes, Jr. and Roman numerals II, III, and so on. One of the main issues considered is how those suffixes change upon the death of a parent or relative. Other issues consider punctuation and formatting.
The time and constructive comments and suggestions of the two anonymous NAMES reviewers are gratefully acknowledged.
Notes
1 In the UK, the abbreviation is Jnr. The French use fils (‘son’) as the comparable suffix.
2 Although many popes are known to have fathered children, only one, John XI (931–935), was the son of a reigning pope, Pope Sergius III ( 904–911) (McBrien, 1997: 154).
