I should be a sweet tempered father. But hey, where's mom?!
As long as you are not your own Grandfather,
Many many years ago when I was twenty-three,
I got married to a widow who was pretty as could be.
This widow had a grown-up daughter
who had hair of red.
My father fell in love with her,
and soon the two were wed.
This made my dad my son-in-law
and changed my very life.
My daughter was my mother,
For she was my father's wife.
To complicate the matters worse,
Although it brought me joy.
I soon became the father
of a bouncing baby boy.
My little baby then became
A brother-in-law to dad.
And so became my uncle,
Though it made me very sad.
For if he was my uncle,
then that also made him brother
to the widow's grown-up daughter
who, of course, was my stepmother.
Father's wife then had a son,
Who kept them on the run.
And he became my grandson,
For he was my daughter's son.
My wife is now my mother's mother
and it makes me blue.
Because, although she is my wife,
She's my grandma too.
If my wife is my grandmother,
Then I am her grandchild.
And every time I think of it,
It simply drives me wild.
For now I have become
the strangest case you ever saw.
As the husband of my grandmother,
I am my own grandpa!!!
Crazy parents. Still, in the example you gave, I would prefer the first. Who wouldn't? I guess it comes from being a first born myself. It would be annoying to be known as "The Second"
And it's not uncommon for people to name their children after themselves, hence the usage of "junior" or "Such and Such III"
Still, if I one day have a child, and my significant other agrees, I'd like to call my son Yossarian. (Or maybe not, but I think it would be fun)
Sometimes second means an improved/renewed version better than the first, an update! Oh man, I am not ugly, young, healthy. Why girls don't like me? It's true I never go anywhere but I know that girls play the hard to get thing all the time. Like men are too many and too low compared to them. I want to make my family but the situation is hard. I'm sure my son or daughter will love a rare name.

So wait, your not ugly, not young and not healthy, or your not ugly, but you are young and healthy.
And the thing is, you shouldn't expect to meet people if you never go anywhere. That's not them playing hard to get, that's them not knowing you exist.
And it's a good thing on a first date not to start talking about baby names. Especially rare ones. Unless it's an arranged marriage date.
Girls always want a baby! And they even reject superman if they are not in the mood! I know it. It is a trick matter. All names suck and I am fortunate to have a rare second name. The world should be better having the best that defines you as unique for id. And that thing works for everything...no more SC number/names/license/passport/etc.
Redcaped you thinking to small here... Lets strip away the last bit of feeling we have in our names and just stick with the numbers... everyones number could be turned into binary aswell! and for short hand we can use the hexi-deciamal system... and finaly to take away the last bit of humanity in having an individual number we all have bar codes put on our heads... that way we never have to ask anyone there name... we can just stare at there head to know who they are! (might take a bit of time to learn to do it... but we won't have to remember peoples names anymore...

Everyone has a second same, don't they?
Nope. For examplwe in Germany there are many people that don't. Don't really see the point in a second name anyways, but well that's just me. Although, the initial of a second name sounds awesome...sometimes.
