I don't know if there is a correct answer. In my case, my father was John Smith, I was John Smith Junior, and my son was John Smith III. After my father passed away, I just dropped the Junior in all except formal legal documents. When my father was still with us, everyone called him Johnny, they called me Smitty, and my son John.
