Ahhhh, ok, now I'm understanding more. That was what was confusing me the most, I know Jrs. and 3rds whose numerals are actually part of their legal name. So just "moving up a number" seems really strange. But I see what you were saying before now, those who are just "designated" the 3rd or the 4th, etc., move up rather than those NAMED a 3rd, etc...
