too many heirs?


turns out one of my hobbies is critiquing other people's wedding announcements. and personal ads. and missed connections. (clearly, i have too much time on my hands).


anyhow, i recently came across the wedding of susie sunshine and john doe IV (names have been changed to protect the innocent). which got me thinking...at what point is re-naming your successor become too much? at which number does carrying the family name become excessive? john doe V? john doe X?

agree. any bastard who names their kid after themselves has totally crossed a line in my book. totally on the corner of lame and ass clown.

i think IV is the longest you can go....then the child who would be V has to be something plain and simple - like jimmy.
