Name Change - Addition of Suffix

My wife and I recently had a son. We named him after me, giving him a ''Jr.'' suffix. At this point or at some future point, I will begin attaching a ''Sr.'' to my name. Do I need to go through the process and expense of petitioning the court for a name change for myself, or will common usage going forward suffice? Thanks!

No name change is required to use the suffix. You may begin use of the suffix immediately. If you have any further questions please contact my office.
