My son and I share the same name; however he is the ‘II’ not Jr. My mother in law insists on addressing all correspondence, (invitations, holiday cards, etc.) to my wife and I as Mr. and Mrs. John Smith I. I have repeatedly told her that the Roman numeral ‘I’ is not needed or correct. Our son’s legal name includes the Roman numeral ‘II’ whereas mine does not include the ’I’. Is anyone aware of any naming etiquette, on line that I could print off and have her read on this subject? Not long ago we attended a function where she insisted on introducing me as John Smith the first, needless to say it has gotten rather tedious and at time embarrassing.
