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.

Kratos! Hell yeah, awesome name. What's wrong with you? People name their kids after names from Christian mythology all the time, what's wrong with Greek mythology? Also, mythological god =/= "make believe cartoon character."

Kratos??? hahaha! Sounds more like an F Your Son's Life to ME! :P But it is a pretty unique name... at least you've got that going for you.

First of all, any geek that knows the origin of the name will probably think it's cool. If they don't, the name sounds original anyway....regardless, if this is all you have to complain about then your life is not ******.

come on, that's freakin awesome! God of War is definitely worth naming a kid after. and if you're not a video game nerd like those of us who are, just accept the fact that the name Kratos just sounds cool.

Give him a normal enough middle name so if your son wants, he has a name to fall back on. (Like Kratos Edward... he can go by Ed if Kratos doesn't fit his personality)
