It could have been Kevin
I share my name with my grandfather and so my name ends in II, the second. While I am not unhappy with my name, I did not wish to pass it on to Kevin, but if I had, he very well could have been 3.0.
CNN.com - Engineering geek names son
Tacking Jr. or II onto a boy's name is too common, a new father decided, so the self-described engineering geek took a software approach to naming his newborn son. Jon Blake Cusack talked his wife, Jamie, into naming their son Jon Blake Cusack 2.0.

Better, I suppose, then Alpha, Beta, and Wide Release.

I thought you'd be a "II" if you're dad was also Jesse, not your grandpaw...
Or am I confused on this naming stuff?

Generally, if you are named after your father, you would be a Junior, although you could be a II. If you are names after your GP, I believe it's always a II (unless it's a higher number - as would be the case if we named Kevin Jesse, since there is a II, he would be III).
