I’m an IV and we named our son V. While I like the tradition, there are significant logistical hassles, even just having IV vs III, and moreso with V like it not being an available option on suffix fields, as well as making sure paperwork lines up and is correct. I don’t know at this point if it was worth it in general, but I do know it has been useful in the past for my dad to be able to hand me a credit card and buy things on his behalf with a legal ID that matches what the card says.
It is fun though, and an interesting conversation piece if nothing else.
I like how simply using “an” instead of “a” causes me to read it as I.V. and not 4. So it sounds to me like you started off by introducing yourself as an intravenous system or something.
