Can two brothers have the same exact name?

Question

Can two brothers have the same exact name?

Answer 1

Yes they can. Though don't you normally whack a I or II on the end?

Usher's son is Usher IV. Michael did it to 'his' sons as well.

I personally wouldn't do it. Each child is different. They don't need to have the same name.

Answer 2

I dated a guy who name was Jimmie and his older brothers name was James.  They were about a year apart.

Answer 3

Legally, yes, but I wouldn't do it anyway. Why would you want to?

Answer 4

They can - just look at george forman. All his kids, even his daughter, are named george.

I wouldn't recommend it though

Answer 5

They could but I think it's a little ridiculous..
