Talk:Bill Bryson Sr.

Untitled
O.K so I see yet another of my articles has become the result of red tape. How the hell is this advertising? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrisjackson (talk • contribs) 17:19, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Confused about the affix of "Sr."
Bryson's son's full name is William McGuire Bryson. The article lists the elder Bryson's middle name as Eugene. Is it not necessary for a father and son to share a middle name as well as a first and last name in order for them to be referred to as "Sr." and "Jr."? (Bill Bryson's article does not refer to him as a "Jr.").

Would appreciate some clarity. – Red Sox Fan274 (talk ~contribs) 02:41, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
