    When a son is named after his father, he is a junior, II, III, etc.

    Some daughters are named after their mothers.

    How are the daughters titled? Is there such as thing as the titles as compared to the sons?

    Does anyone have an idea as to an answer?

    Generally, "Junior" and "II" are used for males. I've been immersed in genealogical research for about 20 years now and have only once seen a female called "Junior".

    I am named after my mother to the t... she says her mindstate was, quoted " if a man can do it, so can I"... unfortunately, she has the name glenda joyce and so do I... then to top things off after I got married both initials are gjb. Point of the story, we just go by our name, no titles.
