"IMHO, unless you are a King, Queen, Emperor, Emperess, or an American, the use of roman numerals is silly" ;-)

ROTFL!
One of my good friends is a III, and his full name is a bland generic thing along the lines of "Peter Matthew Johnson III". That always cracks me up! I wonder why his family thinks that such a boring name, undoubtedly borne by countless Americans, is worth preserving for three generations!
Disclaimer: my friend's name is not Peter Matthew Johnson, of course, but you have to take my word that his real name is as boring as that.

Lol!
Anything Peter-Matthew-Johnson-esque is hardly worth passing down, is it?!
Elinor, who loathes Roman numerals with a burning passion ;-)

With all due respect to those who use roman numerals, they do seem quite pompous and contrived!
