* Faked in ''Manga/KillBlue''. Legendary hitman Juuzo Ogami is [[FountainOfYouth de-aged into a preteen]] and starts attending middle school using his own name. When he meets a fellow assassin who questions his identity, he claims that he's his own illegitimate child who happens to share his "father's" name.

* The legendary Music/HankWilliams's son, Randall Hank Williams, is professionally known as Music/HankWilliamsJr, and had actually started his musical career by singing covers of his father's songs as a "Hank Williams-impersonator". Hank Jr.'s son, Shelton Hank Williams, and a country musician of his own right, is likewise better known as Music/HankWilliamsIII, or just "3".

* A serial offender was the Wainwright clan, a prominent New York family which produced several generations of prominent military men and politicians during 19th and early 20th centuries. The first Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright was an Episcopalian theologian born in 1790 who served as the bishop of New York in mid 19th century (who was himself named after his maternal grandfather, theologian Jonathan Mayhew). His descendants included at least 6 Jonathan Mayhew Wainwrights, two of whom were prominent near-contemporaries: Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright IV was a US general who served during World War 2 under General MacArthur and became rather (in)famous for surrendering his command, after MacArthur left for Australia, to the Japanese (interestingly, his father was not Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright III--that was one of his uncles). His cousin, Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright (who didn't bother with a number) was a member of Congress during most of 1920s. The first Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright's brother's descendants included 3 generations of prominent U.S. naval officers all named Richard Wainwright (several US warships have been named USS Richard Wainwright, without reference to which of them specifically) and a few more who were not navy men.

** Although the two have different middle names, it's implied that "Mac" Taylor was named after his father, [=McCanna=], for whom he still has great respect a couple of decades after the man's death. When Ray comes to visit from [[Series/{{CSI}} Las Vegas]], he and Mac talk about their dads having served in the military. Ray then says, "I hear you wore some stripes yourself," and Mac replies, "I just wanted to be like my father."
* ''Series/{{Dallas}}'': Eldest son J. R. Ewing is named for his father (nicknamed Jock) and, in turn, names his own son John Ross [=III=].
