Anyone know of a Male Name that has Lasted Many Generations?

My husband is Alexander Dorian the fifth. My son will be the 6th. I have only heard of families with juniors and even thirds. Anyone know of it going this long? I am not too big on this, but I actually happened to LOVE Alexander so my hubby got lucky- haha.

Anyone know of a Male Name that has Lasted Many Generations?
My best friends husband is the 9th in his family and she is about to have a baby and if its a boy, it will be #10 :o) They really want a girl because there are soooooooooooooooooo many boys in his family and hers...lol
Reply:Only on popes or royalty. I personally don't like the practice. We named our son James Kenneth. My husband is Kevin Kenneth, and his father was Kenneth Ernest Jr. Kenneth's been a family name for over five generations, but everybody gets their own name, and I like it that way. It's the best of both worlds!

A few names in my family have lasted over 3 generations, including:


Matthew Leon (Matt)


Charles Benedict (Charlie and Chuck)


Marie Antoinette, Antoinette has been exchanged for St. Claire (My name is Marie St. Claire)
Reply:LOL my family is up too the 6th also! My brother is the fifth, my dad is the fourth, his father was the third, his father was the second and my great great great grandpa was the first!


Peter James

The Josephs', the Charles', the Georges', the Williams'.





This is the insanity started by the early Brits. But I'm so glad we don't see it too much anymore.
Reply:My husband is the 7th Larry in the family line, but not where the entire name is the same. Not Junior or third and so on. Oh and our son is Larry too.
Reply:I am Richard Harnedy 5th. And you can guarantee my son will be the 6th. I think generational names are awesome
