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

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

Don't even worry about it. If your kid has the name Kratos, and he's buff or atleast strong and not fat, no ones going to screw with him. Thats so legit. Your husband is a genius

Hey. Kratos is incredibly badass. Besides, there actually was a Kratos in Greek mythology. Be glad that he didn't name your child something incredibly obscure.

Kratos is a fine name. It's not too long and it's not terribly common. It also happens to be the Greek word for strength. If name as anything to do with it, that child will grow up to be strong and unique. I see no problem there. However, if you hate the name, simply mention that to your husband. I'm sure he'd understand. You two are married after all. Your child isn't named that yet so nothing is set in stone. Side note - God of War is a great game. Points to your husband for playing it. Please don't complain about things like this. Your life will be better if you learn to laugh at that type of thing. 'FML'ing this really is kind of a waste of everybody's time... No offense meant. It's just that it's not that big of a deal. You're life isn't ****** and it isn't your fault that it happened. It's not even like he named your son that. Nothing is set in stone and you two haven't even given birth to the child yet. If he does end up being named Kratos, then oh well. He will grow up loving his name because it makes him unique and he's named after an awesome Greek god. As a little boy, he'd think it was cool that he had his own video game character. Little boys usually jump at things like that. And, as an adult, it wouldn't hinder his life at all. People don't generally frown upon 'weird names'. A name is a name. And the more unique your name is, the more likely people will remember it. And if people remember your name, you're more likely to be noticed in whatever profession you choose. All in all? Not FML worthy and not a big deal.

ok... i don't care if u want your son named something other than kratos... although it is a cool name that i wish i had... but when you call him a "make-believe cartoon character"... you ****** up big time... 1. he is a greek god, not a character made up just for a game. 2. he is the greek god of strength. and most importantly, 3. its a VIDEO GAME not a cartoon.... no offense but you are really annoying... get your tersm right before you complain about something like that..... thats not even worth being on FML.com
