re: Would you name your son a Junior (Jr.) - why or why not?

many times the III goes by Trey, but if you're going to do that then what is the point of passing on the name? I'm genuinely curious.

I go by Trey irl now. Didn't used to growing up. Started going by the nickname because I ended up going to A&M just like my dad, who is from the area, but he went by his first and middle names interchangeably growing up. Started getting confusing since he still has a ton of connections there.

My immediate family still calls me by my real name, but my wife calls me Trey, and I prefer that.

My dad's dad passed away when he was young, and now my dad exclusively answers to his middle name, so if/when I had a son, him going by his first name wouldn't be too confusing, really.
