Junior - as a stand alone name for a boy? What does everyone think?

Name the baby after his father and add Jr at the end. nn Junior.
Like Donald Trump Jr.
I know a Junior named in this way. A bit embarrassing as a given name but just about ok as a nn. Don't call your kid Julian - it's awful.

Reminds me of the film Problem Child 😁

Makes me sing "Mmmama used to say"!

Dreadful. Just don't. Go for a proper name.

You might as well just call him kid

It’s awful

So is calling him the same name as his dad. Your child is not an extension of his parents, he’s a person in his own right and deserves his own identity.

Absolutely dreadful.

Like Katie Price?

Er no.

Nope don't like it, sorry.
What about when he isn't 'junior' himself anymore - when he's a parent himself for example.

DaisyChainsForever · 13/10/2018 20:57

I'm not a fan. Do u have any others that you like?

It’s awful - even worse than giving a child their fathers name with Junior as an identifier.
