Grandma Refuses To Acknowledge Her First Grandchild As Family Because He’s Named After A Video Game Character
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.

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.

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.

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.

Their baby their choice. My husband is an Arab and I’m white. I’m choosing an Arabic first name and English/family middle name. At first I did get some pushback, but when I explained the reasoning that my child will be mixed so I wanted a mixed name they shut up about it. This scenario? 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
