Red Dead Redemption 2 gives you a bit of creative freedom when it comes to things like naming your horses, but that doesn’t mean Rockstar Games is going to let you get away with using any old word under the sun.
A Reddit user by the name of cherryfractal has compiled a pretty extensive list of all the banned words in Red Dead Redemption 2, and it includes some very…creative words.

Some of the funniest (and safe for work) words and phrases to appear on the banned words list include “defecate,” “grandtheftdev,” “Nintendo,” “Hotmail” and “Microsoft.”
Lol.
Check it out the post in full here – but of course – it’s VERY NSFW and includes racially insensitive, sexually discriminative and downright filthy words and phrases. Click with caution.
You can’t name your horse “Saddam” on red dead 2 due to profanity well played @RockstarGames

Commenters on the thread are appreciating the funny side of things though, with one user writing: “Honestly been laughing my ass off reading some of those names.”
Another added: “I’m learning so many new words!”

In a much more wholesome post, Reddit user eme2020 has kicked off a conversation about best horse names in Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Online, and the responses are 10/10.

Players have reportedly named their horses everything from Roach to Maple Stirrup to Usain Colt. Plus there’s the very imaginative name, Horse.
I’m all for giving people a second chance but if your Red Dead horse has a shit name I’m writing you off

What’s the weirdest or best horse name you’ve come across when playing Red Dead?
