Remember Tripp from Living Single? His name Ira Lee Williams III and replaced "III" with "Triple," making his nickname "Tripp." I've also know boys who were "The Third" and nicknamed "Tre."

Also, I would kinda like to name my daughter after me so she can be "The Second." Not nearly enough women do that, plus I like my name.

As was said earlier I was always under the impression that you use II instead of Junior when a name skips a generation. For example: before I was born my parents were going to name me Sperry H. Preston II after my grandfather before he vetoed that saying he didn't want to burden his grandson with such a unique name that could incite bullying etc. Thinking back now I actually kind of like that name.

this week alone i've met 2 mother/daughter combos with the same name. at first i was caught off guard, but i like it. i rarely meet anyone with my name & same spelling, so my sole reason for now desiring children is to give 1 my name. ha!
