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 are people so stupid? Naming children is not a "one person privilege." Both parents (provided that they are both going to be involved in the child's life whether they are together or not) should decide on the names together! There shouldn't be any, "I'll name this one, you can have the next one." Can you imagine what will happen if you end up raising some over-sensitive kid who finds out that his parents couldn't be bothered to work together to come up with a name? Not only will he be stuck with some stupid name, but then he'll have this horrible thought of, "Geez, mommy must not have wanted me at all if she didn't even want to have anything to do with naming me!" Granted, that's an extreme case, but still, if you're so incapable of working with your husband to figure out a name you both like, then you deserve it and I feel sorry for the kid. With a name like Kratos, he's bound to end up being an over-sensitive freak. Sucks, yes, but it's likely. Good job on failing your child before he's even been born. :-) Wow . . . I guess I'm in a bad mood, today . . . whatever.

Kratos is an awesome name. Your son would love it...or he should. Did you ever say that name to yourself a few times? Probably not...you just saw it was a "cartoon character" and passed judgement. You are too close minded.../facepalm

#252, closed mindedness is one of the best virtues in life. Only an idiot would name their kid Kratos. That kid will be repeatedly beat up (and for good reason). I say divorce the man.

hahaha, it's your fault. Never trust guys with decisions you care about.

Regardless of video games being awesome, regardless of Kratos technically being a name already... everyone will know you named him after a video game character. Especially his teachers (they'll be your age!) If you're going to do that, at least pick a reasonable sounding name like Zelda, Dante, etc. God damn.

That's an awesome name! No one is going to bully a kid named Kratos, they'd be afraid that he'd be able to kill them. Awesome name.

I'm not sure why you're complaining, Kratos is a badass.
