Hi all,
I have kind of a strange question. My dad and I have the same name (I have a Jr. tacked on to the end of my legal name). I don't use the Jr. on any of my presentations or manuscripts or really anything that I'm professionally affiliated with, but as I apply to graduate school and start working on my professional career I have this nightmare of being referred to as Dr. Last Name Jr. or seeing Jr. pop up in citations etc. - Do any of these concerns seem reasonable? Is it worth looking into having the Jr. removed?
