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.

Never give a man so much responsibility.

OP, go get cultured. Kratos is actually a legitimate word/name - Just because it was used in GoW doesn't make it any less awesome or neat. Your husband is awesome - You, on the other hand, sound like a boring ass. What are you going to name your kid? Paul? Chase? Jake? Ugh.

Kratos is not a made -up cartoon character, he's a Greek God. Greek god of war, that is.

222 - "I told my boyfriend that if we ever have kids together, I get the final say on their names because I'm the one carrying them and giving birth. He can give input, but it's my right." Like it is your choice to have the baby. No, you (the female) are having it because that's how biology works. It's not like you drew straws and your husband had 50% chance of carrying it. He didn't have a choice in the matter so because of that you say he can't name the kid? Put yourself in his position. If the roles were reversed and you had fathered the child would you want to hand over total control of naming to your wife? No, the baby is just as much his as it is yours. He donated the sperm and the baby wouldn't exist without him. Who carries it is irrelevant and doesn't give you any "right" to name it. Like other people here have said, parenting is a JOINT effort. You don't divide the roles between the parents; you share responsibility and come to mutual agreements.
