Yes it does. Because for example, if someone was named Bobby and his last name was Shoe, (Bobby Shoe) and your name was Bobby but your last name wasn't Shoe then you would still be Bobby the second!

Technically no. But you may use the suffix of Jr. or II to differentiate between you and your father. When signing a legal document it is better to drop the suffix and always use your middle initial as it is written on your birth certificate.

Your middle name can be anything your parents want it to be. In some cultures and in some families, there is a tradition of giving the mother's maiden name to the first boy, or first child as a middle name. In other families, the child's middle name may come from the father or grandfather.

There is no set rule.
