I don’t think that “II” or “Jr.” are part of anyone’s legal name. Traditionally, the oldest carrier of a name in a given family does not use “Jr.,” “II,” “III,” etc. William F. Buckley, Jr., notwithstanding. Since Hussein, Sr., has been dead for decades, quibbling over Hussein’s “II” just makes birthers look silly.

Interesting comment - it seems like Arizona is proposing to change it's Birth Certificate format to make the suffix a part of the legal name. At present, it is not.

I wonder what other states do...

I know several people who are “Juniors” or “the third”, and they have II, or III on their driver’s licenses and social security cards.

That tells me their full, legal, registered name.

I even know one guy who has “Esq.” on his TDL. Weird, ain’t it?
