Project managers who have been certified as project management professionals by the Project Management Institute are allowed to use the PMP suffix after their name. Similarly, individuals who have information security certifications – e.B. CISA, CISSP and/or CISM – can use them as suffixes. Students under the age of 18 need at least one parent or guardian name. A second parent name is optional. The type must be presented as a mother (biological mother), father, guardian or other. A name suffix, [dubious – discuss] in the naming tradition of Western English, follows a person`s full name and provides additional information about the person. Post-nominal letters indicate that the person holds a position, academic qualification, accreditation, office, or honor (for example. B, "PHD", "CCNA", "OBE"). Other examples include generation designations such as "Sr." and "Jr." and "I", "II", "III", etc.

Another use is Sñr (Spanish for Lord). In Swedish, the äldre ("the eldest") and the yngre ("the youngest"), abbreviated d.ä. or d.y., are sometimes used to distinguish two people with the same name, often, but not necessarily, father and son. [9] An example is Gösta Ekman the Elder, actor and grandfather of actor Gösta Ekman d.y., cf. Pliny the Elder and Pliny the Younger, who in Swedish are Pliny den äldre and Pliny den yngre. Common nicknames for a Junior or II are "Chip" (as in "Chip off the old block"); z.B. James Earl "Jimmy" Carter Jr. The second son of James Earl Carter III was "Chip".

[7] Another is "Bud" (mainly in the American South); z.B. was Marlon Brando Jr.`s childhood nickname "Bud". Common nicknames for a III are "Trip(p)", "Trace" and "Trey", which indicate that the bearer of the name is the third person to bear the name. Notable examples include Green Day drummer Frank Edwin "Tré Cool" Wright III, South Park co-creator Randolph Severn "Trey" Parker III, and Willard Carroll "Trey" Smith III, eldest son of actor Willard Carroll "Will" Smith Jr. Members of religious institutes often use the initials of their institute as a suffix. For example, a Franciscan monk uses the post-nominal initials "O.F.M.", derived from the Order`s Latin name, "Ordo Fratrum Minorum" (Order of Friars Minor). Similarly, a Viatorian priest uses the suffix "C.S.V." from the name of his religious institute, "Clerici Santi Viatori", the (cleric of Saint Viator). These initials are not considered by members of religious institutes as equivalents to academic or voluntary post-nominal initials, but as a sign of belonging to a particular religious lineage, similar to the use of "senior" or "junior". A woman who uses the title of Mrs.

would also use her husband`s full name, including the suffix. In less formal situations, the suffix may be omitted: Mrs. Lon Chaney Jr. on a wedding invitation, but Mrs. L. Chaney or simply Shannon Chaney for a friendly touch. Widows have the right to retain the full names and suffixes of their deceased husbands, but divorces should not continue to be stylized with the full name and suffix of a former husband, even if they keep the surname. [3] In the UK, the suffixes "Snr" and "Jnr" are rare and are generally not considered part of a person`s name as such.

Ordinal suffixes such as "III" are usually reserved for monarchs; However, the General Vital Statistics Office said that while it normally rejects a series of symbols or letters that "have no intrinsic meaning as a name" when registering a child, a suffix such as "III" would be accepted. [8] Those who inherit a title of nobility do not use ordinal suffixes, but differ from all ancestors with the same name in their position in the order of succession; Thus, Arthur Wellesley, 2nd Duke of Wellington, differs from his father, Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. The suffix PT is used by physiotherapists to refer to their state certification, but not to be confused with DPT (Doctor of Physical Therapy), which is a qualifying degree. British physiotherapists prefer to use MCSP or SRP to mark membership in professional associations. RN is used as a suffix by qualified nurses. There is no hard and fast rule about what happens to suffixes when the oldest of the name dies. Judith Martin, an expert in etiquette and comedian, for example, believes they should all go up[5] (since sr. and the following suffixes can be redistributed), but most agree that this is a matter for individual families. [6] Job titles include Esq., which is often used in the United States for a lawyer (but not necessarily) who has passed a state bar exam, as well as CSA (casting) and ASCAP, which indicate membership in professional societies. The suffix CA is used for individuals who have met the requirements to become a chartered accountant. The CPA suffix is also used for individuals who have met the requirements to become a Certified Public Accountant.

Similarly, chartered financial analysts use the suffix CFA. Sommeliers (restaurant wine professionals) who have passed the Master Sommelier exam use the suffix MS. Engineers who are certified as a professional engineer in their state use the suffix P.E. (P.Eng in Canada), certified professional geologists use P.G., certified professional logisticians use CPL, and licensed engineers use CEng. Similarly, licensed architects sometimes use the suffix R.A. or more often a suffix such as AIA or RIBA, which refers to their professional society. Uk Examination Office staff who are registered with the Association of Examination Agents use meOA. In the United States, professional archaeologists registered in the Register of Professional Archaeologists use the suffix RPA. The suffix III is used after Jr. or II and, like the following numerical suffixes, does not necessarily have to be limited to a family lineage.

For example, if Randall and Patrick Dudley are brothers and Randall has a son before Patrick, he can name his son Patrick II. If Patrick now has a son, his son is Patrick Jr. (or Patrick III; alternatively, Patrick II if Randall did not have a son named Patrick II). Over time, the suffix III goes to the son of Patrick Jr. or Patrick II, who is the first to have a son named Patrick. This is a possible and fair way for a junior to conceive an IV. Another example is President Ulysses S. Grant and his sons Frederick, Ulysses Jr. and Jesse. When Frederick`s son, Ulysses, was born in 1881, Ulysses Jr. did not yet have a son named after him.

Therefore, the son of Frederick Odysseus III. Ulysses Jr.`s son, born in 1893, was Ulysses IV. Jesse`s son, Chapman, was the father of Odysseus V, as neither Odysseus III nor Odysseus IV had a son bearing his name. Historically, when infant mortality was high, a child could be named after his or her deceased brother (a necronym),[4] with or without a suffix (as was the case with Salvador Dalí). There is at least one known case of several siblings who had the same name in modern times – that of George Foreman`s five sons, including the eldest George Jr. and the youngest George VI. In Dutch, "sr." and "jr." are used socially rather than legally, but the system is not extended to "III" and beyond. Instead, Piet de Vries jr. to Piet de Vries sr.
