I’m a “John Smith IV”. My son, due in September, will be a “John Smith V”. Personally, I’m a huge fan of this tradition.

    I think it’s weird almost nobody picks their own name and people carry their parents or spouse’s name, you’d think something so personal and self identifying you’d want it to be something you prefer or you find fitting based on some preference or personality trait.
