I keep forgetting when this was story was set, but isnt it weird that Voldemort is using his grandfather name? like not "Morvolo Gaunt Jr", but just straight up somebody else's name. It's especially odd since Morfin is still alive at this point (though in Azkaban).
mefait:Tom ‘Marvolo’ Riddle It’s his middle name and his grandfather is dead and too be honest it’s not like people knew much about the gaunts since they kept to themselves. And In toms diary he mentioned how him and Harry were the onl parselmouths to have attended Hogwarts since slytherin which is to note that Morfin attended Hogwarts and tbh the family was seen as mad seeing as the had married first cousin to first cousin then sibling to sibling I hardly doubt they would care about Morton who was in Azkaban let alone question Tom about his name it’s not seen as odd to have another persons name tbh like Sirius has his Greg grandfathers name and regulus has his great uncles name. Then again tom is a parselmouth so I suppose you can say it’ll be way enough for him to pass as a gaunt seeing as they are the last known descendant of slytherin who Idk
