Any "Jr.," to his father (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

namesake

(Other definitions for namesake that I've seen before include "Seek a man (anag) -- one with an intimate connection?" , "Appellation sharer" , "Person with the identical monicker" , "One is called after someone" , "As one David is to another David, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
