Accordingly, how do you write Jr in a name?
In writing, a comma is used to separate the surname and the suffixes Jr. and Sr., though the trend is now toward dropping the comma. Junior, when spelled out, is written with a lower case j. The wife a man who uses a suffix, uses the same suffix after her name: Mrs.
One may also ask, where do you put JR on forms? If the form does not have a box for Suffix, then put the JR in the box for last name (following his last name). Use full correct legal names in all places.
Simply so, how do you write Jr using a last name first?
When listing last name first, the given name follows the surname because that is how we sort: all the Does, then the Johns, and finally the Jr. s. Doe, John Jr. Use a comma before Jr.
Is JR Part of last name or first name?
In contrast to what @bib suggests, the APA reference requires that you include a comma between the first name and the suffix: Doe, John, Jr. (Also please note that the gentleman's official name will have a comma in it: John Doe, Junior or John Doe, Jr. .) The suffix is an explanation of the first name, not the last.
