I'd fight against it, personally. I really, really dislike boys having the same fn as their father, or being a Jr., III, etc. I might consider it if my husband had his heart set on it, and esp. if he was a III, IV or more and wanted to continue the tradition. But I'd insist on the son having a different nn, at least, than his dad. None of this Big Jim and Little Jim for me. I could deal with Jim and Jamie or son going by his mn, etc. However, I do like it when boys have their dad's fn as their mn (first son, at least). That's fine, imo.
