I often create generational players for my leagues, and when they go on for 100s of seasons, it's not odd to see III, IV, V players from time to time.
I had one series of families where the greatest player of all-time had so many legacies that another family name (via his great granddaughter) spun their own dynasty. It's a lot of fun for me and a good way to remember certain players.

I move pretty slowly with this particular save and am only entering the sixth season of play now. But already I have a few cousins/brothers of current players who have entered this baseball universe through my created players process and I'm finding it great fun.
I actually ended up drafting the game-created Jr. I referred to above. He isn't much of a prospect and will probably never make it to the major leagues but I didn't draft him prematurely- at some point he was just basically the best player available and it was my turn, so what the heck.
The process I built for creating legacies is quite random. I can only hope that over time it will spawn at least one multi-generational (beyond father and son) family of ballplayers.
Speaking of Jr. Jr.- there is an indie rock band out of Detroit by that name. They used to be called Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. Neither here nor there, but I think it's kind of funny.
