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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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.

why not name him "martin"? The meaning of the name Martin is Servant Of Mars, God Of War for baby names :P he gets his god of war and you get a nice name...

Ugh... At least it's not boring like the name... Kevin. I give your husband credit for being creative. I probably would have ended up naming mine Axel or... something after something I liked. Kratos is actually a good name. It's a creative one.

Also, if your kid doesn't like the name, he can change it. I speak from experience - my parents named me after a character from Dante's Inferno (which they hadn't even read). Hated it as a kid so I've gone by my middle name since I was 9 (which is after a famus tennis player).

Kratos is a TITAN from Greek Mythology, the personification of Strength... also the brother of NIKE (Victory), BIA (Force) and ZELUS (Zeal), the son of STYX(the river in the underworld, also if you swear an oath by STYX then you are to fulfill that oath or you die) and PALLAS (also a TITAN to do with war)...Kratos or Cratos(I learned it with the C but I have seen it with the K) was sorta the lapdog to Zeus, Zeus would set a death sentence or punishment on someone and Kratos would see it through, he is the one that helped tie Prometheus to the rock after Prometheus gave fire to mankind... I think it is a marvelous name if you know the story behind it and not just that it is from a video game... but then again most people won't know its from Greek Mythology they will assume the game...

Today, I figured out before I was born my dad wanted me to be named Kratos but my mom wouldn't let him, now I'm just a normal Joe. FML

hehehehe... sounds familiar. If my wife didn't have her miscarriage 2 years ago I also could have a little KRATOS.

Never let the dad have final say on the name. His part is easy. You're carrying the kid for nine months and giving birth - you definitely earn your two cents. I feel like, that considered, it's more understandable for the mom to pick one name - which the dad has a veto on, if he hates it - and after that you pick one together. Or, if you disagree with my view and you want to let him pick the name, you at least get a veto as a parent, just like he should have when you picked the name. YDI for giving up your right to an opinion, and if you're doing it because you wouldn't give him any say over the name of the first child, YDI even more for being selfish.
