Should I add Jr. or II if I name my baby after paternal great grandfather?

Question:

Should I add Jr. or II if I name my baby after paternal great grandfather?

I would like to name our baby, if a boy, after my husband's grandfather but we aren't sure if we should add a suffix to it. No one in the family has his full name except him so our baby would be the first. Do I need to add Jr. or II (the second) for our baby?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: II is perfectly acceptable when you're naming a child after a grandparent or great grandparent. A prime example is Henry Ford II, son of Edsel Ford and grandson of Henry Ford. Junior's only really used when the child is named after the father. But then again, any name you put on the birth certificate is perfectly legal and acceptable if it's what you want to name your baby. Congrats and I hope you and your husband have a beautiful healthy child.
