[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Related, sort of: So is it pretentious to name a kid XX XX III, even though the family isn't old-money? My DH is a Jr. and I'd be open to naming a son III, but we are both from working-class families.[/quote] My husband is a III even though his parents are working-class. I don't think it's pretentious. (We drew the line at a IV, though.) OT: I once met a guy who was the 19th. Talk about pressure to have kids![/quote] Yes, it's pretentious. It's also now the dominion of the working class, as they're being pretentious...that is, Attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed. Unless you are royalty, you don't need to be the III, or XI, or whatever.[/quote] What if you just want to honor your predecessors? I guess you could do same first name, different middle name.[/quote]
