<div>Looking at the _Chicago Manuel of Style_ ( 15th Ed.), 18.35 they are referring to it as a "parenthetical tag' or "parenthetical identifications." Although their examples are exactly what you are talking about, I'm not sure if these are the terms you are looking for.</div> <div> </div> <div>Rondina<br clear="all">________________________<br>Rondina P.

I am hoping someone on this list can fill in this "senior moment" for me. What is the term that refers to a qualifier being placed after a man's name to distinguish him from another man of the same name in a tax list (or other similar list)? For example John Smith (James) and John Smith (George), where the names in parentheses are their father's names. Another example would be John Smith (miller) and John Smith (farmer).
