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?

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

I think it's funny that everyone is saying Kratos is a legit name because he was a REAL Greek god. Hey guys, guess what. Greek gods were fictional characters, too. Like #77, I would totally name my daughter Aerith, or Navi, or Lara. Taking names from videogames is awesome. So long as it is a name that doesn't evoke expectations that the kid isn't likely to live up to. Unless this kid is going to grow up to have shoulders 5 times the size of his head, a nifty scar over one eye and a giant, mysteriously perfectly shaped birthmark thingie over the rest of his bald head, I just don't think the name would suit him. OP was totally wrong to insinuate that videogames are below her. Though I doubt that she intended to.

I'm gonna have to agree that that is an awesome name. And an awesome game. My mother happens to be named after the Roman goddess of the hearth and home. **SPOILER ALERT** A word of warning, though - Kratos kills his family

so Kratos is a really cool unique name, i think your son would love it, you told your husband he could pick it, and he did, unless you are really against that name then i say leave it be =)

Simply say, "Honey, when I told you that you could name our son, it was under the assumption you weren't out to ruin his life."

FhisL for marrying a dumb bitch who judges every action based on the first impression. As has been said dozens of times, even if he got the idea of the name from a game, its the Greek word for strength and the name of the actual Greek god of war from myth. Besides, by the time he grows up, nobody will even remember that game anyway, so its not like when he introduces himself, people will ask "HURRR, from the God of War game?" It might fit a little weird if you picked a generic name for your daughter, which I can tell you did by how upset you are over a little creativity, but again, thats your fault for being a bland, homogenized product of society.

That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. You still have veto power, he just gets to pick the name. You can set up ground rules. Like, you don't name your child "Tampon" and he doesn't name your kid smething stupid.
