Dutch van der Linde. Uncle. There are quite a few names in the Red Dead Redemption 2 video game that would make terrible actual baby names. However, Redditor u/Bloofykins8675309 and his partner picked one that both sounds good and doesn't have any negative connotations. But when word got out and his mom - the baby's grandma - learned about it, she was livid. Not only does the grannie believe it's ridiculous to give this honor to a fictional character, but she also had something in mind herself and decided to stand by her opinion even if it means destroying the relationship she has with her son and his family. Not sure what to make of it, u/Bloofykins8675309 made a post on Reddit, asking if he was the jerk in the situation or not. Image credits: pjjones (not the actual photo) Image credits: rockstargames Image credits: Bloofykins8675309 Red Dead Redemption 2's Arthur Morgan is a hard man. He kills, he steals. But determining whether or not he's a bad person is quite difficult. Even impossible if you haven't played the game. When he's not chasing bounties or running from the law, he can be found providing his crew with much-needed supplies such as ammunition and food. He's often the mediator between disputing gang members as well. If he's not involved with them directly, that is. But he's quite reasonable. Arthur can put the solidarity of the camp before his own pride. Family comes first, and the gunslingers, runaways, and outcasts he lives with are the closest thing to family the man has. Arthur cannot be bought or intimidated. Regardless of his enemy's size, strength, wealth, or power. Confident in his ability to handle any situation and overcome any adversary, Arthur rarely shows any hesitation and will engage in combat even when outnumbered. But after the smoke from his gun barrels settles, Arthur clearly understands that his behavior can sometimes be morally wrong. Though he justifies his actions saying he's different from most criminals (Arthur genuinely believes he can help people), as time goes on, he questions this philosophy more and more. There are definitely plenty of reasons why someone like Arthur Morgan can make a lasting impression on you.
He likes to get carried away by his own imagination and create something interesting, mostly in a visual form via drawing in Photoshop or on paper.

An uncle he never knew and a story that ties him and his wife together. Even after explaining the why on the name she still doesn’t budge? Why don’t she just adopt a dog and name him after the brother? I mean it’s their baby she needs to back off or she’ll never know her grandchild 44 44points reply BluEyedSeoulite BluEyedSeoulite Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago My kids are Korean and White. We also went with mixed names to reflect their heritage 25 25points reply Load More Replies... RoseTheMad RoseTheMad Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago I mean, I myself have a very Irish first name and a very Romanian surname, and it's a strange mix. My goddaughter, who I have now adopted, is part Korean, she has an English name she uses but I also let her use her Korean name if she wants to, I want her to have connection with her ethnicity even if she doesn't know her birth parents. I even let her name one of our cats, so we have a cat named "Byulbit/Byeolbit" meaning "Starlight" iirc. x3 And my fiance is finnish, quite a mix of heritages that I want her to be immersed in, welp... but it's for her to decide when she's older if she wants to know her adopted parents heritage too or not, I don't want it to overwhelm her, she's still young, and whilst high functioning, is autistic. (she's super smart, but has some sensory issues and doesn't really talk much :) ) 8 8points reply Chloe *Leah* Pheonix Chloe *Leah* Pheonix Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago @Frank Ropen how dare you.

Korean and White? A little bit racist isn't? Whites have distinguishable ethnic groups too. -20 -20points reply Deanna Crichley Deanna Crichley Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Right! I always wanted to name my child (boy OR girl) after my father who died when I was 5 years old. Well, I didn't have kids. Last year we got a kitten, and named him Lloyd. 8 8points reply Danielle Whiteman Danielle Whiteman Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago My cousin is half Jordanian and her husband is full Jordanian. The American/French Canadian side of our family took a little time to get used to their kids Arabic names. They are very fitting though. I couldn't imagine them with more common American names. 0 0points reply Otter Otter Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Momma is being a big old drama queen about the baby's name! For heaven's sake don't change the baby's name because of the dramatics, I mean she's having a fine old time and you might was well let her have her fun, but you do NOT want to ever give in to these tactics. If you do, it'll be the same over every tiny little thing, down to the brand of toilet paper you buy. 44 44points reply Honu Honu Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Her freakout kind of tainted the name, too. If it were me, if I then caved because she got furious, yelled at me, and threatened to never see my child, that name would always remind me of that massively negative experience and what an unstable, over-controlling woman she is. 28 28points reply Load More Replies... Jenny Jenny Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago I have to agree. I understand her wanting to honor her brother. But she could always find another way to do so. Don't change his name just because of this situation. You will forever regret it. She will hopefully come around and realize that you and your family are way more important than her personal opinion. That baby will be precious and make a fine Arthur Morgan. 5 5points reply Load More Comments Popular on Bored Panda I Used AI To See What These 23 Popular Cartoon Characters Would Look Like In Real Life 30 Y.O.
