Is it just me or was it super problematic when Klaus named Marcel.
He knew this boy for five seconds and then decides he has a right to name him. He learns that Marcel's mother is dead but asks no other questions about his family. Did he have aunts, uncles? Did he even want to be taken in by the Mikaelsons? Why couldn't he come up with his own name? He was old enough to make that decision. It would allow him some kind of control and ownership over himself after having none at all for his entire life. Even the fact that the writers didn't allow his mother to name him so that Klaus could do it, asserting some kind of ownership over Marcel. Klaus names him after a Roman god, completely erasing Marcel's culture/heritage.
