To name somebody that once is bad. To give four people that name shows that a family believes inflicting pain builds character (or something).

Yes, Young Boozer is my Real Name

I remember thinking along those lines when my then-spouse was in the army and we were living in the Rheinland Pfalz in West Germany. We were asked to sponsor an officer couple arriving at our kaserne. The husband's name was Philip Washington Fairey III. Their then-16-month-old son was, you guessed it, Philip Washington Fairey IV. I gave Phil IV's mother some joshing grief about it, and she said, "Do you have ANY idea how difficult it is to find a first name that sounds good with a last name like Fairey?" She decided the least they could do was make Philip III's parents happy...

Dunno if the Boozers had the same problem, but it's at least a possibility.
