I have three cousins we call one Trip, the other Tray cause their both the third. But the last one is the forth and we call him cuatro which is Spanish for four. And some people call my brother deuce which me two, thought he only has the first name of my father and not the middle.

Wow, I really never knew this, I thought it was just a decision you had to make yourself. Thanks for explaining it. =]

Haha, thanks for replying to my question! It just confused me because my dad is a Jr. and it just threw me off.

A son named after his father (but not after his grandfather) is often referred to as Junior, Chip, Skip, or Sonny.
The third generation carrying a name (usually with III after his name) is often referred to as Trey, Tripp, or Trip (from Triple).
The fourth generation carrying a name (usually with IV after his name) may be referred to as Ivy or Dru (as in Quadruple).
The fifth generation carrying a name (usually with V after his name) may be referred to as Quint or Quince.

This is going to be an odd comment but I thought this video would explain why Kevin Jonas of the Jonas Brothers is Paul Kevin Jonas II instead of Paul Kevin Jonas Jr. BUT his dad is Paul Kevin Jonas as well... so why isn't he Jr instead of II? It's always confused me! Could it be a family decision?
Love the video's from you all!

Hi, Jenn,
So yes, the father of the Jonas Brothers is Paul Kevin Jonas, Sr. The family mistakenly named the son Paul Kevin Jonas II. He should be a Jr. But like you said, ultimately a family can really do whatever they want. They won't be arrested for breaking a naming rule! :)
