Baby Name Battle: Video Game Hero vs. Family Tradition 🎮vs.👪
This gaming couple found love and now they're expecting their first child. Wanting to honor their favorite video game character, they've chosen the name Arthur Morgan for their baby boy. But when grandma-to-be found out, she was livid and demanded they name the child after her late brother. After a heated confrontation, she's now threatening to cut ties with the family if they don't change the name. The couple is left wondering if they're in the wrong or if they should stand their ground. What do you think? Let's check out some of the top reactions to this dilemma... 🍿
NTA, media impacts our lives and sometimes it's great enough that we choose to honor it. If the mother chooses to 'disown' her grandchild over this, that's on her. People name their kids after fictional characters from a book or show all the time. It's no different here just because the character in question comes from a story told in a video game.
