I'd draw the line at once a generation, although I think even that lacks originality.

I had a great grandfather named Stephen.
-his son, my grandfather, was Stephen, Jr.
-his son, my uncle, was Stephen III "Steve"
-his nephew, my cousin, was Stephen "Stevie"
...and another cousin was named Stephanie

It's needlessly confusing imo. Names are supposed to differentiate one person from the next, so it just seems pointless to use the same name so many times in the same family, especially in the same generation.
