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

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

nothing wrong with letting your husband picking out the name when i was pregnant i let my ex pick out our son's name he picked alucard to be his first name but then he picked out spencer so now my son is growing up with alucard as his middle name, but i rather have that then have a man name his daughter after one of his exs

Actually, your son's going to be named after the Greek Titan of strength.

that's actually a nice name. i think it means "country" in Greek. (well in modern Greek)

Tell him to pick something serious. Do you realize how much that kid is going to get made fun of? My friend Xanadu gets the weirdest look from people when she tells them her name, and has had many employers give her a sarcastic look and a "Is that your real name, sweetie?". Yeah, weird/exotic names are not the way to go.

Cartoon? I didn't realise that cougars actually married people 30 years younger than them.

It's a very strong name for a kid, but hopefully he'll grow into it. All you have to do is give him a normal middle name and just call the kid by his middle name. Problem solved. *shrug* I've met people who choose to go by outlandish nick names, so it's not the end of the world.

My friend named her daughter Kairi after the kingdom hearts character, so no biggie there :P Besides, Kratos is a cool name (it's also a Tales of Symphonia character, he's so much better than the GoW one).
