whatever, junior howard

your father is also named James P. Howard II? That's weird.

Why are Roman numerals used, instead of 2, 3, 4 etc? 

It's trad.

  I'm just so relieved to find out that Jamie is not a clone..

Heh.  Yes, I have that problem.  Despite the fact that I've had "John 
Ellis Perry Jr." as my name as long as I've been on M-Net and Grex 
(since 1986), people still here refer to my son as "John Jr."

My son says I'm Big John and he's Little John.  My dad is "Old John".

I tell my son (he's 5) that we're all the same person.  My mother told 
me not to make my son cry.

The postal service can't seem to figure out that David Michael Brodbeck
(me) and Michael David Brodbeck (my dad) are different people.  I didn't
realize this until I moved out and put in to have my mail forwarded. 
Any mail he gets that has his middle name in the address gets forwarded
to me.  I'm not sure what to do about this.

Send (or take) his mail back to him? 

Change your name?  Change his name?

what exactly is the problem, jamie?

jp's a junior. That explains a lot.

10: I was wondering that myself.  He has the same name as his father, 
but he says that's not really a problem.  It certainly can't be any 
more of a problem than having the same name as the bazillion other 
James P. Howards in the world.

I can't.  It would be too easy.

 ... be still my twitching fingers ... (me too)

Re #8: That's what I've been doing.  But it's a pain.

        Use your soc if it's important.

There are other people on the planet with the same name as me, but I've 
never met any.  It is a sufficient annoyance that I was in the same 
elementary school class with another boy named "Jan."  Worse, this guy, 
of pure Swedish decent, decided at some point that he wanted everyone 
to pronounce his name "Juan", which people then merrily tried to apply 
to me.  This left me with a lasting dislike for anyone with the same 
name as me.  I can't imagine actually having to live with one, or be 
related to one.  There will be no Jan Wolter II.

I've met many, many Davids.  In fact, my best friend is a David.  You
get used to it after a while.

"like sands through the hourglass, so are the daves of our lives."

ROTFL.

  (humming)

  These are the Daves I know, I know..  These are the Daves I know..

"The Daaaaaves of wine and roses..."

Both songs made me laugh...  :)

"The Daaaaaves of wine and roses..." .. it;s enough to 
drive you to drink!

I find it hard to believe that "James P. Howard II" is your FULL name.

"P." looks somewhat incomplete.

it's like the S in Harry Truman...?

From an old Steve Allen "Answer Man" sketch, and apropos of
nothing in particular:

    Answer:    Dr. Livingston I presume.

    Question:  And what is your full name, Dr. Presume?

This response has been erased.

Look again.

"Dr. Livingston I. Presume, PhD"

That redundant. YOu dont need both the "Dr" in the front and the "Phd" 
at the end. You're a language nitpicker brighn. I expected better from 
you. /frown.


 *snort* ;)

You don't need them, no. But I've seen them both used. ;}

I loved Steve Allen's "Answer Man" sketches.

Answer: Washington Irving

Question: Who was the first president, Myron?

No reason why P. cannot be a legal middle name.  My brother was given the
middle name M.  He married someone with a last name starting in M. so changed
his middle name to match.

My father's middle name is W with no period.  His brother is JD no periods.
When he was in the service during the Korean war the army couldn't handle it
and gave him ID as Jay Dee.  My grandmother had a fit.

For a while, lots of Marines had NMI as their middle name.
