Help[Opinions] the female Junior ...
in reply to a message by mirfak
Has been done, but not very much. It's not all that uncommon (or wasn't till several generations ago) for daughters to be named after their mothers, but they would usually just go by a nickname, and Jr. or II wasn't attached to their names.
However, Jesse Jackson has a daughter named Jackie Jr., (as well as a son named Jesse Jr.) and Dog the Bounty Hunter has a daughter named Lyssa Jr. And recently read a book about Bob Hope, and he mentions a character they had on his radio show back in the 1930's. Her name was Cobina, and she was named for a famous socialite of the time named Cobina Wright, Jr. (The real Cobina Wright Jr. sued the producers for defamation but it was apparently thrown out and they ended up on good terms.)
But I still think it's lame; I'm not all that wild about sticking Jr. or II onto boys either.
