Interesting. According to the Wikipedia article about him, his official name is not "Fashion Sakala Jr." but is "Junior Fashion Sakala".
Junior used to turn up as a given name in the USA regularly. When I was first doing research on name fashions in Michigan back in the 1980s and could still directly look at birth certificates, I saw that back in the 1930s and 1940s it was quite common for boys named after their fathers in Michigan to have "Junior" given as their middle name instead of as a suffix -- there were many examples of "John Junior Jones" instead of "John Jones, Jr."
Junior peaked as a first name on the SSA chart in the USA in 1926. but it has never since left the top thousand and still ranked #740 in 2021. And much to my surprise, I see from the chart on this site that Junior ranked #390 as a first name for boys in England and Wales in 2021.

Ooh, haha. Then he must just prefer to be known as Fashion.
I don't dislike Junior as a 1st name, mainly because I like the nicknames Juni and June.
