Didn't they tell you, you're named after the milkman
 
My father and his father had the same first and last, with different middles,

My father and I have the same name. Thankfully they went with II over Jr, and I was never called Junior while growing up.

You know...thats funny...I'm the only one in my immediate family with red hair...my siblings and parents are all brunette or blonde....so who the hell knows, or cares lol.
 
I'm not only a jr. but I was born on my father's birthday. Too bad he's a worthless POS and my step dad is really who I consider my dad. 😀
 
Yes I do.......My dad's name is Elwyn and my name is also Elwyn, but i'm not a jr. I go by my middle name though because this name usually seems weird to people.
 
Same first and last, different middle. It's a bit of a tradition in our family. I'm the sixth with the name and my son is the seventh. Each generation seems to alternate between using the first and using the middle.
