You're not a Junior if you don't have an identical name. Writers have botched this notion for a while now, calling him "Barry Sanders Jr".
It's a stickler for me going back to his recruitment, as I share a similar circumstance with my own father.

I have the identical name as my dad, but he named me II instead of junior. He thought that junior sounded too trashy and rednecky

My problem with naming a kid after yourself has always been two fold: 1) I agree with your dad's thoughts on how Jr sounds, and 2) it's a bit ballsy to think you've accomplished so much that you are worthy of having someone named after you.
That said, I've come around recently to thinking that if you name someone after yourself, it could also be a mighty challenge to yourself to make the name you gave worth having and of value to them.

I'm a Jr. Tell your dad to meet me at the corner of Piedmont and Cheshire Bridge and I'll show him trashy.
