Give the kid his own name

That is my sage advice for anyone who is having a son. I made the mistake of allowing my husband to name our son after him. Which in itself is bad enough but my husband was himself named after his father. Who was named after his father. Yea, add 'em up and the poor kid actually has IV in his name.
I had no idea when I allowed this to happen that I would spend the rest of my life, or for however long they are both alive whichever comes first,asking which one every time someone calls the house and requests to speak to one of the two males in the house and correcting constant mistakes made by people. The latest of which was the bank teller accidentally deposited our refund check in his account. It gets confusing I guess when I'm joint on both accounts but that is just one of the millions of things I've had to correct since we filled out that darn birth certificate.
I understand that in days gone by it was the practice to give the oldest male child the same name and just tack on a number at the end because they had lands, estates and titles to keep in the family. And while, according to my paternal Grandfather, I do hold an English title. I really don't think an acre and a 3 bedroom raised ranch qualifies as lands and estates to leave behind.
So save yourself the endless hassle and give the kid his own name for pity sake. Life is hard enough as it is.....
