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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

God of War is one of the best game series ever created. Your husband rocks. Also, "Make believe cartoon character"? That's out of line. And yeah, I wish my name was Kratos.

My daughter's name is Annika Rei. My son's is Rivers Taylor. If we have another girl, we're naming her Amelie Rose. Great names, right? Annika was nearly named "Mariska", because my wife was obsessed with SVU during the pregnancy. The middle name from one of my favorite animes. My son is named for Rivers Cuomo, of Weezer, and Roger Taylor, drummer for Queen. Amelie Rose allows me the opportunity to shorten it to Amy Rose, a character from Sonic The Hedgehog. The name itself is what's important, not where it came from. At one point, my wife was going to let me name a son Connor Nash, a combination of Highlander's Connor MacLeod, and his alias, Russel Nash. Also, Colin Noel Adams, named for author Douglas Adams (whom I had the great fortune of meeting once), and a minor character from one of his books. Childrens' names should be chosen with the same care as a tattoo- not something you'll regret a couple of years down the road, but something with some staying power, that the child is going to be able to say more than "Yeah, my dad named me after this chick in this show", but "this is what my name means, this is why it's important to me".

You srsly married the coolest guy ever. And Kratos is an AWESOME name. Run of the mill names are so weak.
