~ Shards of Opal ~
Carmilla never forgave Godbrand for the stunt he pulled with her daughter's name. (Even after Isaac ever so helpfully pointed out that "At least it wasn't like what happened with people calling Dracula's son 'Alucard'. Your child escaped being known as Allimrac.")
A perfect opportunity for revenge presented itself mere weeks later... when a red-haired, fanged toddler was dropped off on the doorstep of Dracula's castle.
It was commonly agreed that this must be Godbrand's child. He was the only vampire with hair like that.
The child was not old enough to speak yet, and with no way of knowing what name the mother had given the baby, the generals immediately took to calling him 'Godbrand Junior'.
"Well, knowing the way Godbrand gets around, he probably has an entire horde of children scattered around the world," Carmilla said. "I wouldn't be surprised if this one was more like Godbrand the Five-Thousandth."
And so it came to pass that Godbrand's son was known forevermore as Godbrand 5000.
