I've always hated this name with a flaming passion. It's very immature-sounding. Most guys named Junior I've met have been trashy and badly-behaved (and more often than not football hooligans).

I've always, with a flaming passion, much pitied people who make ignorant, baseless generalisations. As much as I've always much pitied those, who fallaciously deduce the quality of a name with whomever shared/shares it.
On that note, Junior, is a Superb name. :)

I know so many people with this name, specifically hispanic people. It’s not that bad, but I would prefer other names.

Junior is also a euphemism for your johnson - I have never understood why people gravitate towards this name, it's maybe the least sexiest name out there, like Nigel or Ernest.

I actually really like this name as a nickname for any J name. I think the fact that people use it as a nickname because it's the same name as the dad's is a bit...weird BUT the name is cute!

Don't do it! Decades later, after Sr has passed, still legally a "Jr."
Personally, I think it's arrogant on the father's part to allow such a naming unless you are a very noble or historically significant individual. Everything "Jr" accomplishes, the father will also get some derision of fame, simply by name association. Any failures, then the cliches begin, "You're just like your...,".
And because people who knew the elder first will always think of the Sr first, you get titles as a Jr that tend to add a "Y,or "IE," to the father's name. Don...Donnie, Ernest...Ernnie, Dave...Davey, Fred...Freddie. Worse yet, little Don, little Fred.
You take away that person's individuality and trust me, it's a life long fight to not be exactly like the Sr. Especially if unfavorable traits are associated with the name. To avoid being just like the father, Jr has to avoid possibly beneficial pursuits to not be "Just like..."
So, remember the person's life you're honoring in choosing the Suffix "Jr," could possibly be taking away a happy life from the younger.

Junior is sometimes further shortened to JR as a given name. I grew up with a boy named JR, and none other than Johnny Cash was born J.R. Cash but changed his name to John when enlisting, as the military would not accept initials as a first name.

This is a title, not a name. It sounds like trailer trash! And imagine an old man named Junior. Very ironic. Only works as a nickname.

This is just stupid as a legit name- sorry but it is. It is a title which will have everyone assuming that his name is something else. If the father's name was say, Andrew David, they're going to assume that the son's name is Andrew David as well.
Also, imagine an old man named this. That would be so ironic and hysterical.
Think before you name your children. Why is common sense so rare these days?

I've only met one person named Junior, and it wasn't his real name, it was just a nickname. But at least if he got sick of that, he could just tell people to stop calling him Junior and start calling him by his real name.
If your real name was Junior, you'd have to change it instead of just getting rid of an old nickname.
This is why it's better to just name your kid after you and nickname him Junior.

This is not a name. It is a title.
You name your kid this and everyone is going to assume that their name is actually, say, Mark Anthony named after the dad but chooses to be referred to as a jr.

My son is called Junior, as his real name. I really like the name. As his nickname we call him JJ for his middle name and he loves it. He is only 4 but even when he is older I'm sure the name will suit.

Not only does Daddy Dearest sound narcissistic, he's too self-absorbed to realize that his poor son may face mockery. As a given name, it won't fit when Junior's a grown man. Plus it sounds like a trailer trash name.

Ridiculous. The poor kid. And imagine how he'll feel when he's a grown man and he's called "Junior". Tacky and just plain bad.

This name only sounds right to me when it's a nickname, although I'm not a fan of naming a child after yourself. Like as a term of endearment even if the child is not really named after the parent would be cute.

I like the name Junior for a boy nickname, not as his real name, just a nickname for a boy who is named after his father.

No way. It's so juvenile and demeaning. Even if your son has the same name as his father, NEVER call him Junior! He has his own identity, you know. This is a nickname, not a legal name.

I can understand if your son had the same name as you and you just called him Junior as a nickname but to legally name your kid this is stupid.

I would never name my kid after myself and nickname him/her Junior if only for the reason that is would make me "senior".

What sort of an idiot names their son Junior? It sounds like the name some egomaniac would choose, as he sees his son as nothing more than a continuation of himself and as an extension of his ego, and doesn't give a rat's ass that the name sounds trailer trash-y and infantile, and that the son will never be taken seriously.
