Today, my husband and I were talking about names for our expectant child. I told him since I named our daughter he could name our son. He's decided on a name from 'God of War'. My son is going to be named after a make-believe cartoon character - Kratos. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my boyfriend has had name ideas for his future son and daughter even before I met him, but so have I. He disregards my ideas and suggestions, and is hell bent on giving our kids names because he likes "the way they sound." 'Hippopotamus' sounds good, but who’d name their kids that? FML
Today, my husband and I agreed that he would name our first born and I would name our second. He's dead-set on naming our child "Raindropp" no matter whether it's a boy or girl. FML
Today, me and my husband are having our first big marital argument. Our baby still doesn’t have a name, all because I want to call her a normal name and he wants to call her some obscure name from an anime he really likes. I’ve never seen him this stubborn about anything this stupid. FML
Today, I found out that my wife named our son after her ex boyfriend. FML
Today, I found out my wife named our son after her ex-lover. FML
Today, I learned that I'm expecting twins. A boy and a girl. My husband, upon finding out about this, immediately suggested that we give them Star Wars names. But not Luke and Leia. Oh no. He wants to name them Darth and Vayda. And he is absolutely serious about this. FML
Today, I heard my brother and sister-in-law discussing whether they should name my soon-to-be-born niece Annabelle or Samara. My nephews are named Jason, Freddy and Chucky. See the pattern? FML
Today, my father-in-law announced the name of his new son, my husband's half-brother. The first name and last name is the same as our son, who I gave birth to 4 months ago. FML
Today, I found out that my 6-year-old son was named after my wife's "Favorite Uncle" because he might also be the father. FML
Today, I learned that the hardest part of marrying a historian is choosing baby names. His top choices derive from two Roman magistrates, two abbesses, a tenth-century author, and an obscure Greek official. I already let him name our pug, for whom he chose the name "Tertullianus." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

"Make-believe cartoon character"?! Whoa whoa whoa, you've gone too far, there. Besides, it's a totally cool name, you must admit.

Kratos isn't a made up name. its mythological, your son will be named after the god of war, not just a "cartoon character"

#92 Chill the **** out. You want CPS to be involved because of a name? People name their kids after fictional characters all the time and it's not because they want attention from their child's name. Maybe the saw the name and liked it? My older brother's middle name was Lando (Star Wars), #77's daughter is named Aerith (Final Fantasy VII), and one of my professor's named her son Ganon (Zelda). So what's the problem?

Its unique, I don't see the problem of the name. Why give a boring generic name? My name is difficult and annoying, but I don't think its stupid, at least its not something common and like 6 out of 20 kids in a class will have it and so parents/teachers have to find nicknames to differentate the children. I have an Irish name and a Chinese name, I am American. Whats the matter with Greek?

I say you keep the name. It's original and completely bad ass. It's also not JUST from the video game, so you can justify it with the whole mythology thing. My parents named me "Ementi" and the only downside to having an original name is when you meet new people. You have to repeat your name a few times so they can pronounce it right, and people ALWAYS ask where it's from and what it means, but once that's out of th way everyone is completely fine with it. I've actually made friends just by having an original name. And if this whole "not getting anywhere in life because you have a weird name" bullshit is true, then FML. But it's not. So stfu. I think there are way more upsides to having an original name then there are downsides. I'll bet your kid will like having an original name more then some old boring one that 638478642 other kids have.

#38 Oh I would so do that. Except not Lelouche because it can easily be bastardized into Ledouche. It's made to be made fun of. Plus I would hate for my kid to realize his namesake was from an anime, demand to watch it, then never respect me again. :)
