Adlai Stevenson IV
Stevenson's son, Adlai Ewing Stevenson V, was born in 1994. Stevenson was ambivalent about passing on his name, having joked that he would be "Adlai the Last".  He later recounted that "when my own kid was about to be born...the big debate began—were we going to continue this name thing? I was basically against it, needless to say fully aware of how being named Adlai E. Stevenson can be a Boy-Named-Sue-like albatross. But my dad and my wife felt strongly this was something we should do."
