NN for 4th gen & name suggestions

in Baby Names
DH and I have no names so far for our first son so we are entertaining the idea of making him Robert IV. What are some nicknames for 4th generation, like Trey for 3rd or Jr for 2nd. 

Also so looking for name suggestions to go with our Hispanic 2 syllable last name that starts with V.

Sorta my style:
Marcos
Ricardo
Emilio
Lucas 
Damian

guilty pleasure names id probably never use
Tristan
Spencer

    I can't think of any 4th Gen nn, but maybe you could use a nn of Robert itself, like Robbie or Bobby.  Other suggestions:

    Alberto
    Armando
    Arthur
    Benjamin
    Collin
    Eduardo 
    Henry
    James
    Jorge
    Julian
    Julius
    Leo
    Lorenzo 
    Lucian
    Milo
    Noah
    Oliver 
    Orlando
    Ross
    Shane
    Tanner
    Thomas
    William

    When we were briefly considering a IV, BIL came up with the nickname Fin(n) for fourth in name.  We actually liked Finn better than using DH/FIL's name and added it to our short list.

    I can't think of an actual nn for fourth but my cousin has a fourth. The "original" is actually deceased so they call him Trip even though he's the fourth not the third, he's the third of who is still in the daily mix per se. 

    Otherwise I guess pick a different spin of Robert? Rob, Robbie, Bob, Bobby, Bert etc. or you could just use his mn?

    You could use Dru for quadruple.

    You could also possibly use R plus his middle initial to make a nickname for him.

    We are both fairly anti-middle name but if robert IV is the best we can do we might have to go for it. I refuse to allow DH to nn our first born Ricky Bobby, no matter how much he loves Talladega Nights and Will Ferrell smh. So I'm desperate for alternatives lol

    And all 4 will be alive for a while longer, thankfully! So trey/trip won't work for us. 

    I think DH is adding Lorenzo to his short list. And I liked Leo and Benjamin.

    Maybe Court (quart) would work.

    My cousin is a fourth. He has a nickname that is in no way related to his given name. He goes by his mother's maiden name. Maybe you can just come up with a nickname you like. Or a middle name and call him that.

    Love the idea of a Robert IV! Just choose a nn that isn't used by his Dad. So, if Dad goes by Robert, use Rob or Robbie. Like Lorenzo.

    What about Riv? R(obert)IV.
