The old lineage debate

[Brownstone]

Now I am wondering if one of the following scenarios is more correct than the other. My friend believes that a name followed by jr or III can only be bestowed upon a father-son relationship. My argument is that in certain cases, it is the mothers last name, also that if say your are not named after your father but say a second uncle, you can also reasonably, be called a jr or the III, seeing as you still share the same name. I believe all these cases are reasonable, my friend does not agree.

Na, I think it should only be father son. But it's honestly not that big of a deal...

What about George foreman? Are all his children entitled to the respective names? (3rd, ect..) or do they have to be generational, as in son, grandson ect..?
