I think having two articles for two potential names for the same potential future hypothetical character is pushing the boundaries of canon a bit too far!! There should be one article for Roman's Child, and a section explaining the two names/genders ''mentioned''. It is not likely (or biologically possible) that the gender of the child is influenced by Niko's actions, however I don't think we can say it would definitely be a boy in ''both'' endings, because the child is not even born during the storyline. Just like the rest of this wiki, this article has to cover events that happen in-game, NOT fan-fiction or non-canon assumptions - so this refers to the unborn child. We can't assume that the child will be safely born, or even what name it will be given (they might change their mind in the remaining time). All we can say for certain is that she is pregnant, gender is mentioned in one version of events, and they say in another version of events that they would name their child Kate if it were a girl. Separate articles for Kate and the son need not exist, as they are only possible future '''names''' for the same future character.

I agree with you GBoyers. I think this article is fine the way it is and should not be split, moved or deleted. But guys, just try your best not to bias the article towards "Roman Bellic, Jr" too much. Also, I added a speculation tag just in case it is needed.--[[User:MrLanceVanceDance|MrLanceVanceDance]] 07:01, 14 October 2011 (BST) | :I agree with you GBoyers.

::On the subject of not making assumptions, based on what Spaceeinstein (and now that he said it, I think he's right), it seems to me that ''Roman Bellic Jr'' is a completely made up name, never mentioned in game - Am I right? | |||
::Also, regarding the sentence ''Mallorie is pregnant during her wedding in both endings, but is unaware at that time'', I don't think that's true. The final mission presumably takes place the day after the wedding, and the phonecall with Roman/Mallorie later that day - So I think that they knew she was pregnant, they just hadn't told anyone yet. I suggest that that line is removed.
