GENERATION_LIST = When “II” or “III” or even “IV” appear in the Middle Name/Suffix slot, it can safely be assumed that they are Suffixes. (John Smith has a son named John Smith II, who has a son named John Smith III, etc.) However, nobody (except a king) puts “I” after their name to indicate that they are the “first.” If anything, they put “Sr.” Therefore, a letter “I” appearing in the Middle Name/Suffix slot can be assumed to be their Middle Initial. So here ‘i’ will be removed from the GENERATION_LIST Also almost nobody will reach to ‘v’(except a king), so all suffixes later than ‘v’ we won’t use.
