Mы тут обсуждали если англосаксы продолжают называть сыновей тем-же именем после третьего - т.е. Дедушка / Junior / III. Вроде да - читал книгу о LB, увидел упоминание вот этого мужика, он четвертый:

i don't think he likes having 4 names - for example Bush goes by Dubya. They give kids these names as an honor of dead ancestors. So instead of having to pick one guy, they wallop all 4 on him. It also makes sense in rich (old money) families - how big of an impact did your great-great-greatfather Srulik have on your life? But the guy George Walker who lived 100 years ago got so rich that it was enough to sustain the family until today.
