It always comes across to me as a very american thing, specifically trying to make something feel older than it actually is.
I’m something like HelloThere XV because the firstborn son in my family has had the same name since at least the 1700s - even across language when we got forcibly relocated for sheep.
Would my future son be XVI? Sure - but they won’t have the actual numerals.
Yeah that’s a better way of phrasing it.
