John L.,
The American society rules are cited at:
https://emilypost.com/advice/mens-names-and-titles/
No doubt other American examples are out there.
Please note that if on a birth certificate where the term Jr. is used, that
is part of the legal name. But, if it is not part of the legal name then it
can be used as a social contention.
I hope this helps.

Does anyone know the rules for Jr, Sr,or II ,III ?
for example: my Grandfather was Frank C. Carpenter, he had a son Frank C
Carpenter (my uncle) My brother was named for him Frank C Carpenter & he has
a son Frank C Carpenter.Do they qualify? or does it have to be in direct
line ?
