I'm not a fan of name addons, i.e. the things people attach to or insert into their names for personal, professional, or other reasons.  Notable addons include: 
  • Sr., Jr., and numbers, e.g. John Smith, Jr., III.  Just come up with a new name.  There are plenty out there.
  • Middle initial, e.g. John A. Smith.  Way to sound like a jerk.
  • First initial, e.g. J. Ron Smith.  Way to sound like an even bigger jerk.
  • Three first names, e.g. John William Scott.  Prepare for a life of people being unsure of which of your names is your first name.
  • Incomprehensible letters, e.g. John Smith, MBNA, DDT, Esq.  Esq is "a title of respect for a member of the English gentry ranking just below a knight," idiot.
