There is a second Byron Murphy II!

[Lords of Scythia]

There is another one that plays for Minn! How can this be!?!? They are not the same age, so they can't be twins.

I believe the Vikings guy is a JR not a II so if they were immediately related. It would be father/son but there isn’t nearly enough age gap.

The names Byron and Murphy are quite common though so it’s not all that surprising really.

What would be interesting is if the Vikings’ Murphy Jr has a sone and names him the same he’d be a second and assuming he was born reasonably soon we could draft another Murphy II in about 2 decades.

He's a former UW Husky. I believe he was drafted by the Cards and played in their secondary with Budda Baker.

 

[Seahawks Guy]

He played for the Huskies like 8 years ago and was a standout player. So we are quite aware of this.

What’s the difference between jr. and II, no matter what the next one is III, my dad is jr. and I’m the III, II must just be that your named after your grandpa or some other relative than your father, or there’s really no difference

The rule of thumb is the first child with the same name is Jr then his son would be II then his son would be III and so on.

I believe though that JR can be skipped and use II in its place. Some people aren’t fond of having a moniker of JR/SR

 

[Seahawks Guy]

It's Sr and Jr until Jr has a son with same name. Then they become I, II, and III.

Parents giving their kids the same first name as them is a practice that needs to die.

 

[Sperrydogg]

My grandpa was the first and my dad was Jr and I’m the III. So I guess you can do what you want. But I most definitely did not name my son the IV. I think to go past III you gotta be the king of at least a small island or something

 

[oldhawkfan]

So if Minnesotas Byron Murphy II played with the Seahawks would he then be Byron Murphy II Too? Just not sure I want to see either of them in a tutu.

I doubt you’ll be able to convince all people to stop that. My dad could not wait to name me the third. No other names were on the table

Thanks for getting that song stuck in my head.

Do what you want, I am pretty sure Grandpa Sperrydogg, doesn't care. My dad named his son John, and just changed the middle name. Of course my brother named his son after him with a Junior. Everyone calls him Junior. What do you call a II? Deuce, or Byron?

Bryon is a common name, but naming somebody after the poet Byron is far from common - that's why this screws with my head

I should have stipulated that it’s common enough for me. I’ve known several Byron’s. Not near as many as I have Bryan/Briab though

 

[Seahawks Guy]

I've never met a Byron in real life. Only time I've seen that name is professional athletes.

II, III, etc do not need to be sequential in anyway. Sharing the same name in the same family tree is all that is necessary.

Have you ever said bye to a guy named Ron? Comes close.

The only Ron I've ever known wasn't worth saying bye to.
