A son followed in 1772; what should he be called?

The son followed the example, setting out to work on his own.

Another son stayed five more years and then followed them.

He died at 1984 but the tradition was followed by his son.

Of course all Greece would know, and say the son had followed the father.

His fourth son had followed a path similar to the first's.

Barry was followed some time later by her son Richard.

And as we followed him - to death - our sons will follow you.

So what better path for his son to follow than a life devoted to the mind?
