[Fred Nerks]

...Naming a child with the same name as the father and appending II rather than junior is the product of ignorance or pretension.

NOT IN ENGLAND. And Kenya was an english colony.

What do you mean NOT IN ENGLAND? Obama wasn't born in England, was he? He claims to be an American citizen.

BTW - "The most common name suffixes are senior and junior, most frequent in American usage, which are written with a capital first letter ("Jr." and "Sr.") with or without an interceding comma. In England, the abbreviations are "Jnr" and "Snr", respectively.
