Basically, it says the name must be the same. For example, if a great uncle was named
Michael William, then your son could be
Michael William II.
Not everyone gets the whole jr. / II thing.
My brother named his son
David Mark (his exact name) but didn't want a junior so he just put II after little
David's name on the birth certificate. It's not technically accurate and we tried to tell him so, but legally, little
David is
David Mark II.
Hope this helps.
BTW, I'm curious, how does Baby's mom feel about having a third
Michael in the family. ;-)
