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?

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

INSTEAD OF COMPLAINING YOU SHOULD TRY TO TALK TO HIM AND TRY TO FIND A NAME YOU BOTH LIKE... JUST BECAUSE YOU NAMED YOUR DAUGHTER DOESN'T MEAN ITS HIS TURN... IF YOU GUYS WANT TO DO IT THAT WAY, THEN YOU SHOULD DO EVERYTHING LIKE THAT: I COOK TODAY, YOU COOK TOMORROW ;]

Even without the femenine name, it'd be easy to tell that #222 is a woman. 'Obviously joking'. Feh. Screw all the people who hate the name. I support that man's decision. And all this 'veto' talk really pisses me off. Men have just as much right to decide stuff like this. I hate all these women who are so full of themselves.

Kratos is a perfectly cromulent name. You should spell it in Greek, ??????.

Ouch. We had that system worked out but our child was a boy, but after my husband watched go through that horrible labor, he said, "Name him whatever you want, your earned him." So I named him Oliver. and he now agrees that Oliver is way better then any of his ideas.

That name is AWESOME!!! come on, that name has some power behind it. If people see that name on a business card they're gonna be like 'Whoa damn he's important' or something like that lol

#2 is right. Also, never give a kid a weird first name that can't be shortened to something normal. Kratos would make a kickass middle name, though.
