Whether in fiction or real life, parents naturally want their kids to be like them and what better way to reflect this desire than to name the child after themselves?
Naming children after their predecessor is often symbolic of the parents passing down their hopes, dreams, and legacy to their progeny (regardless of the child's own wishes). It is also a convenient way — for both the parent and the writer — to quickly establish familial connection without having to look too far for a suitable name. And if the family's legacy stretches back to several generations prior (which is typical for royal families, noble houses, or The Clan), it is not uncommon to name the child after one of their grandparents or a more distant Famous Ancestor. To hammer in the connection even further, the child might also share the exact same appearance, and sometimes even biography, as the ancestor they are named after.
Since Lineage Comes from the Father, expect this trope to be more commonly applied to fathers and sons, although examples between mothers and daughters can exist, especially in matriarchal cultures. A daughter being named after her father is not unheard of either, usually because her parents Wanted a Son Instead.
This naming convention can also be used when a writer wants to use a Historical Domain Character in a (more) modern setting but doesn't want to use a Setting Update to tell the character's story for some reason. Instead, they name their new character after the Historical Domain Character and claim that they are the latter's descendant to achieve the same effect.
A Sub-Trope to Significant Name Overlap, and may overlap with Dead Guy Junior if the ancestor is already dead when the child is born. Super-Trope to King Bob the Nth. Compare "Near and Dear" Baby Naming when the child is named after a living friend or relative that the parent is close to, usually to honor that person and may also overlap with this trope if the parent named their child over their own living parent (i.e. the child's grandparent) out of respect for the latter.
Often used as a Preppy Name as well, where a character's full name is followed by a Roman numeral (commonly III), implying that the name itself is a family legacy, even if their parents' name are not explicitly given.
Compare/contrast Legacy Character, when a name or Secret Identity is passed down to different individuals after the original retires/dies. See also Ridiculously Long-lived Family Name.

On Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, "Sonny" Carisi's full name is Dominick Carisi, Jr. He's "Sonny" because he's the "son" to his dad's Dominick Carisi, Sr. However, everyone he works with tends to choose a Last-Name Basis type relationship, so it's rare he gets called by either given name outside his family—this is just the explanation for the fan queston "how is 'Sonny' a nickname for 'Dominick'?."

The Black Sheep Dog Series
The series takes the common Harry Potter fanon that a son (especially the first born) takes his middle name after his father's given name and turns this into a Black family tradition. Hence, Sirius's full name is Sirius Orion Black, while his father Orion is Orion Arcturus Black. This is played for drama as both men struggle with the burden of sharing names with a father "they could never live up to".
The Blacks' tendency (and lack of creativity) when coming up with children's names are alluded when Sirius and Regulus are sorting through their father's letters and Sirius reads one from "Regulus". His brother had to ask which Regulus the letter came from, before discovering, to his horror, that Sirius is reading his personal letter.

Gilmore Girls: Played for Laughs. Both the Gilmore mother and daughter are named Lorelai Gilmore, with the younger called Rory to avoid confusion. While in labor and under the influence of a lot of Demerol, Lorelai began thinking how unfair it was that it is socially acceptable for men to name their sons after themselves, but not women, and decided to buck tradition. Later episodes would reveal that Lorelai herself is named after her grandmother, meaning Rory is technically Lorelai Gilmore III, making this story also Hilarious in Hindsight.

The narrator of the last The Queen's Thief book, Pheris Mostrus Erondites, was named after his grandfather. This was not a sign of respect. Pheris' mother knew that her father would be really pissed off that his disabled grandson was named after him, and she wanted to stick it to him for disinheriting her.

CSI: NY:
Det. Don Flack, Jr. is named after his father, Donald, and follows him into law enforcement. He tells one suspect, also a "Jr.", that it's hard not to want to emulate someone "when you're carrying their name."
Although the two have different middle names, it's implied that "Mac" Taylor was named after his father, McCanna, for whom he still has great respect a couple of decades after the man's death. When Ray comes to visit from Las Vegas, he and Mac talk about their dads having served in the military. Ray then says, "I hear you wore some stripes yourself" and Mac replies, "I just wanted to be like my father."

Harry Potter:
Harry's middle name is James, after his father, and one of the first things that his teachers usually take notice of him is his strong physical resemblance to James. He has also inherited his father's talent for Quidditch, and some of his recklessness and mischief.
Big Bad Lord Voldemort's real name is Tom Marvolo Riddle. He shares his first name with his father, from whom he inherits most of his looks before his creation of Horcruxes resulted in the noseless pale man we know and hate today, his middle name is his maternal grandfather's name, and his paternal grandfather was also named Thomas, making Voldemort at least the third of his name. His mother, Merope Riddle née Gaunt, requested these names as she gave birth to him in the orphanage shortly before dying, presumably to connect him to both sides of his heritage.
Harry would eventually name his eldest son James (referred to as James Potter II in the wiki), who had inherited his namesake's penchant for mischief and trouble-making.
The House of Black use stellar names for almost every member of their family — and, considering how long they've been around, there's bound to be several repetitions. Harry's godfather Sirius is the third in the family tree to bear that name (thus making him Sirius Black), as is his paternal grandfather, Arcturus Black, and one of his maternal uncles, Cygnus Black. This strict naming pattern shows how narrow-minded and restrictive the family's legacy is, and this is one of the reasons why Sirius hates his family and ran away to live with James when he was 17.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire introduces us to Bartimeus Crouch, an influential Ministry of Magic official who is (in)famous for his ruthless stand against the Dark Side. His son, Barty Jr., was ironically arrested long before the story starts for being a Death Eater.

Discworld:
Samuel "Sam" Vimes of the City Watch has a son also named Sam, nicknamed Young Sam, or Sam Vimes Jr.
Most dwarfs with patronymic surnames have Repetitive Names due to this, such as Rhys Rhysson or Glod Glodsson.
The example given in The Discworld Atlas of the correct way to address a Nothingfjord chieftain begins "Hail Eric! Son of Eric the Auk-Eyed, Son of Eric Short-Beard, Son of Eric Longshanks, Son of Eric the Bard, Son of Eric of the One Leg, Son of Eric of the Other Leg, Not the One With a Nasty Thing on His Foot, Son of Eric the Vain, Son of..." Well, it goes on for 24 lines and only ten of the ancestors mentioned aren't named Eric.

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse has an episode called "Donald Jr.", which introduces a young Donald-lookalike whom Goofy dubs "Donald Junior", although it's unclear if the character is actually Donald's sonnote The character is clearly inspired by Donald's unnamed son in the non-canon short, "How to Have an Accident at Work", himself nicknamed Donald Jr. by fans. The MMC episode itself does not explicitly confirm that this character is indeed Donald's son, or even if his name actually is Donald.

Vorkosigan Saga: The Vor tradition is that first and second sons are named after their paternal and maternal grandfathers. Miles was going to be named "Piotr Miles" after his paternal and maternal grandfathers' first names and it was Serious Business when his grandfather Count Piotr Vorkosigan refused to allow Miles the name. Mark, as a second son (despite being a clone), got his name from his maternal and paternal grandfathers' second names.

InCryptid:
Verity's father wanted to name her Alice after his mother, but his wife balked since Alice is weird (even by their standards). They compromised by making Alice her middle name.
Her brother Alex is named after their great-great-grandfather Alexander, and their great-grandfather Jonathan.
Alice herself is named as a feminine form of "Alex" since her parents thought she was going to be a boy and planned to name her after her grandfather. Her middle name is Enid, after her grandmother.

Marvel Universe:
Nick Fury: When Marvel decided to introduce a black Nick Fury to match the one from the Marvel Cinematic Universe note This was part of an overall attempt to bring the comics in line with the films. Around the same time, the X-Men and Fantastic Four (whose film rights still belonged to Fox) were increasingly sidelined with the Inhumans being increasingly used as replacements for mutants. , they "revealed" that Nick Fury had a black son named Marcus Johnson... whose real name was Nicholas Fury Junior. OG Nick Fury was shortly disposed of, allowing Junior to take his place (and name) as the only Nick Fury.
Spider-Man:
Peter's full name is Peter Benjamin Parker, the Benjamin clearly derived from Uncle Ben's first name.
Marvel Comics 2: Peter and Mary-Jane have two children named May and Benjamin, after Peter's respective guardians, Aunt May and Uncle Ben. They are nicknamed "Mayday" and "Benjy" to differentiate them from their predecessor.
The Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows: Anna May Parker is named after both Aunt May and MJ's Aunt Anna.

Grrl Power stars Sydney Scoville, Jr. She's named after her father, and in strip 83 boasts she plans to name her future child Sydney Scoville III. As Sydney is a woman, one of the staff who interview her at Archon headquarters comments that 'it's a little unusual for a girl' (before noting he's only commenting on its statistical rarity). When we finally meet her father, we find that she definitely takes after his side of the family as far as personality as well.

The series takes the common Harry Potter fanon that a son (especially the first born) takes his middle name after his father's given name and turns this into a Black family tradition. Hence, Sirius's full name is Sirius Orion Black, while his father Orion is Orion Arcturus Black. This is played for drama as both men struggle with the burden of sharing names with a father "they could never live up to".

In Wuthering Heights, the men of the Earnshaw family traditionally have names beginning with "H." The three named male members of the family are Hindley, Hareton (who shares his name with his ancestor who built Wuthering Heights back in 1500), and foster son Heathcliff. Meanwhile, young Catherine Linton is named after her mother Catherine Eanrshaw (which doubles as a Dead Guy Junior, since the elder Catherine dies in childbirth), and Linton Heathcliff has his mother Isabella Linton's maiden name as his first name.

In A Cry in the Night, all the men in the Krueger family going back four generations bear the first name Erich, with some of them going by their middle names to avoid confusion (e.g. Erich's father's full name was Erich John Krueger and he tended to be called John). When Jenny finds out she's pregnant with a son, she and Erich plan to name him Erich Krueger V. However, Jenny discovers that Erich put "Kevin" on the birth certificate instead. Erich claims it's because he wasn't certain the baby would survive and wanted to save the name Erich for a living child, but it's all but stated he actually did it because he's convinced Jenny's ex-husband Kevin is the real father.

Like the books, Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon feature noble families reusing names, such as Viserys Targaryen (the king of Westeros before the Dance of the Dragons, one of the sons of Rhaenyra by Daemon during the Dance of the Dragons, and the jerkass brother of Daenerys over half a century later), Aegon Targaryen (King Aegon I "The Conqueror", King-claimant Aegon II, and Rhaenyra's second son by Daemon) and Rickon Stark (the Lord of Winterfell at the time of King Viserys, and much later one of the sons of Ned Stark). This ends up causing much troubles, such as when Queen Alicent mistakes the Aegon her husband Viserys talks about (the First of His Name, the Conqueror, from the prophecy of the "Song of Ice and Fire") with her own son Aegon.

The DCU:
Aquaman: Aquaman and Mera's son is named Arthur Curry Jr.
Batman: Batman's Rogues Gallery include James Gordon Jr., son of Comissioner James Gordon. Despite their shared names, Jr. is nothing like his father, who is Batman's longtime ally.
The Flash:
Barry Allen and his grandson Bart Allen share the same full name, Bartholomew Henry Allen.
Wallace "Wally" West and his cousin Wallace "Ace" West are both named after their grandfather.
Superman:
Clark's son is named after his paternal and maternal grandfathers, Jonathan Kent and Samuel Lane.
Vril Dox, AKA Brainiac 1, has a clone son also named Vril Dox II, AKA Brainiac 2.
Depending on the continuity (sometimes it's Hudson) Clark is Martha's maiden name.
Superman & Batman: Generations: Batman's first son, Batman III, is named Bruce's Wayne Jr. Later, Batman adopts Superman's grandson, the son of Joel Kent, and names him Clark Wayne after his grandfather Clark Kent.

Superman & Lois:
Natalie Irons is named for her maternal great-grandmother. This weirds Lois Lane out considerably, as Natalie's mother was her alternate-reality counterpart and she herself had considered naming her stillborn daughter Natalie after her grandmother.
Jon and Jordan Kent are named after both Clark's fathers: Jonathan Kent and Jor-El.

The Bible: Alluded in "The Gospel of Luke" during the birth of John the Baptist, where Elizabeth's neighbors and relatives want to name the baby Zechariah after his father. When Elizabeth insists that the baby's name is John (per the angel's instructions), they express surprise because neither Elizabeth nor Zechariah have any relatives named John.

The Legend of Tarzan: Shows up when the aging Professor Porter learns of the apparently remarkable longevity of the local Waziri tribe, whose elders count their ages in literal centuries. After returning from an adventure to find a sacred pool of water the elders regularly bathe in, the Professor is somewhat dismayed to learn that there had been a linguistic misunderstanding. In reality, the Waziri elders were referencing the age of their names, which were passed down the family for generations. This is played with in the stinger when the men are laughing over Porter being silly enough to believe they were over five hundred when in reality they were only one hundred seventy-five.

We are shown in the late 1800s another Kaji had guided Richard Francis Burton to the Sphinx. The line and name end with the latest, 21st century ones, since Abdu Al Iblis murders both the father and son.

When Ray comes to visit from Las Vegas, he and Mac talk about their dads having served in the military. Ray then says, "I hear you wore some stripes yourself" and Mac replies, "I just wanted to be like my father."

Ramona Quimby: In Ramona Forever, Mrs. Quimby reveals that she is pregnant with a third child, and when Ramona and Beezus try to think of names for the new baby, whom they believe is a boy, the very first suggestion that comes up is Robert Quimby Jr., after their father. Several other names were considered and the family eventually settled on "Algie" (short for "Algernon"), but when the baby ends up being another girl, Mr. Quimby goes back to their original plan and she gets named Roberta (because Mrs. Quimby explicitly refuses to name any daughters after herself, as she dislikes being called Doris).

Quil's grandfather is introduced to the readers as Old Quil. In New Moon, Jake says that on his mother's side he's a descendant of Quil Ateara, later clarifying that this is the great grandfather of the Quil in the story. And acording to the Twilight Illustrated Guide, Quil is actually the fifth consecutive person by that name in the family.

Star Wars Legends:
According to the comics, Greedo, the Rodian bounty hunter whom Han shot in the Mos Eisly Cantina in A New Hope has a father also named Greedo, sometimes referred to as Greedo the Elder.
Leia names her youngest son Anakin, after her biological father, in hopes to redeem the Fallen Hero's legacy and to overcome her own fear of Darth Vader by seeing the man Anakin Skywalker could have become through her son. Leia acknowledges that she might have placed an unnecessary burden on her son by giving him that name, and, growing up, Anakin himself struggles with the fear that he might follow his namesake's journey by falling into the Dark Side.
Han and Leia's only daughter, Jaina, is named after Han's late mother, and she is said to resemble her father the most in terms of personality.

The Apprentice, the Student, and the Charlatan: Zig-zagged. Nova Shine is named after his family's patriarch, Nova Shine I, a unicorn spellcaster said to be just as prolific as Star Swirl the Bearded. The present-day Nova constantly struggles with the weight of the expectations placed upon him because of this. Subverted, in that it later seems that he and the first Nova Shine are actually the same pony and that he will be journeying into the past shortly after discovering this information. Double-subverted, because while he was in the past, he met and fell in love with Clover the Clever but they ultimately could not be together. She then named her son after him, who then grew up to become the Nova Shine that the present-day Nova was named after.

In ¿Qué Pasa, U.S.A.? father Pepe and son Joe have the same name: José Manuel Peña. Joe's nickname is an English version of his given name (befitting a Cuban-American teen who has grown up in the States and has no memories of Cuba). As for the fiercely Cuban and proud of it Pepe, he goes by a common nickname for the Spanish name José.

In The Sleeping Beauty Killer, Hunter Raleigh I named his eldest son after himself, making him Hunter Raleigh II. After Hunter II died in the Vietnam War, his younger brother James named his eldest son Hunter III in his honour and to carry on the tradition. Andrew (James' younger son) notes that James had forbidden his eldest son from naming any of his children Hunter if he went through with marrying Casey, though Hunter ultimately didn't live long enough to father any children.

Nick Fury: When Marvel decided to introduce a black Nick Fury to match the one from the Marvel Cinematic Universe note This was part of an overall attempt to bring the comics in line with the films. Around the same time, the X-Men and Fantastic Four (whose film rights still belonged to Fox) were increasingly sidelined with the Inhumans being increasingly used as replacements for mutants. , they "revealed" that Nick Fury had a black son named Marcus Johnson... whose real name was Nicholas Fury Junior. OG Nick Fury was shortly disposed of, allowing Junior to take his place (and name) as the only Nick Fury.

In the Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks and Tabletop RPG series, there is the city-state of Salamonis, on the world of Titan, where every male ruler has borne the name of "Salamon" and given the same name to his heir son, as a homage to the much respected first king. The current king is Salamon LVII.
