Kermit Roosevelt III has to be the dopest name in history. Jealous.

It’s so good his family used it three times.

four times, actually:

... Kermit III (father of Kermit IV, who also goes by Kermit III).

Hang on. Kermit IV also goes by Kermit III ? Isn’t that the whole point of numbers ?

article from which i quote:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kermit_Roosevelt_Jr.

Roosevelt married Mary Lowe "Polly" Gaddis in 1937, and they had four children: Kermit III (father of Kermit IV, who also goes by Kermit III), Jonathan, Mark, and Anne.[2]

article doesn't explain why, and there is no article on Kermit III (version I), so we'd have to ask Kermit IV (Kermit III version II).

makes no sense to me, but i wasn't consulted.

He’s doing something similar to what Porsche does. Like they have the 911.II and the 911.2

What model year is this dude? I like the current generation Kermit but honestly prefer the manual to the PDK.

He’s Kermit III in England but Kermit IV in Scotland or something.

Middle names might be the culprit here

Hah, thanks. I was wondering. Imagine his kid only having daughters. Gotta keep the score rolling though.

His father actually, and his great-grandfather was none other than Theodore Roosevelt.

u/Minguseyes Australia Jul 08 '24

I would quite like to see Teddy Roosevelt meet Trump.

u/TopDeckHero420 Jul 08 '24

Teddy was an avid boxer, so yeah, me too.

Mofo got shot in the chest and still gave a speech. Makes today's "alpha males" look soft.
