A friend of mine married a guy who was was a third (III) She was told right off, that if she had a boy, he would have to have the family name and become a fourth (IV) She did have a boy and named him the family name...here's the funny thing. Not one of them goes by the name. All 4 generations used nicknames. Now that is weird.
My mother knew a man who was a XXIII! The three given names had been passed down for twenty-three generations and the namees alternated which one they were called by in order.
I had a friend who had a speech problem with the "R" sound, and hated his first name which began with an R. He decided to take on a nickname and chose "Nick", the perfect nickname.
As far as it affecting my perception of a person, I would head for a nickname if he had some trailer-trash name. I get annoyed that a lot of men I actually like have my ex-husband's name!
