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.

first off... #133, you fail. Second, I'm strongly considering naming a daughter Samus someday. It's a strong, yet feminine name. Does that make me a stereotypical gamer, complete with pasty skin, acne, bad eating habits, and insomnia? Third, Kratos, or even Cratos, is a good name. Far better than the couple that agreed to name their first child Sephiroth regardless of gender and then had a girl.

...how is this an FML? Your kid has an awesome name! Games are like fast becoming as respeced as some books and movies. Besides, its better than naming him something common.

That's so badass. If I ever have kids, I will be totally okay with naming my kid Kratos. Hell, I'd name my kid Sephiroth.

Kratos is a good name. A name of a greek god, there could be worse names, imagine iy your husband suggested Zelda. Other wise i think this is not a FML.

It's a good name. Two syllables, can be pronounced by reading it, and unique. There aren't a whole lot of names that fit that bill.

@171 - Zelda would be an AWESOME name. Much less shitty than Kratos. XP I have never had children and I already know you NEVER EVER EVER EVER let a man choose ANYTHING important. Anything that matters to you should have little input by men--You'll only be disappointed. It's not too late to bully him out of it--Tell him it was your hormones that made you so nice and you're naming the kid Joshua. Name him Kratos and the kid will grow up to be either mentally abused by his soulless peers or a big ******* douche 'cause he wants to live up to his "strong," womanizing name. Trust me. God of War isn't that good a game anyway. One of the minigames is to bang a three-some so hard you break pots. Care to change the name now--Or pick a better video game character--How about Wander from Shadow of the Colossus? I kid, I kid. But it's a good game. ;)

You could always throw a normal middle name into the deal if a name that cool really bothers you that much..

Kratos is an awesome name for a boy. Rawr! Not FML, just tell him to change the name.
