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?

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

People wont necessarily know that it is based off of the video game, in which case that will be a very cool name.

Have your next child with someone whose mental age is greater than 12.

I love GoW, but that's going a little too far.

Kratos is a good name. Who cares where it came from? Stop bitching first off. I don't see why videogames aren't a respected hobby these days. They are works of art in themselves and should be judged as a piece of art as are paintings and movies. So F your husbands L for having to deal with a whiny dumb bitch such as yourself. "make believe cartoon character" gosh i can't believe how ignorant some people are. as if imagination was the bane of your existence.

i hope the kid's personality/body reflects that name. it'd be pretty shitty if he was named Kratos and he was a scrawny nerd. but don't feel too bad, Kratos isn't awful. my boyfriend always threatens me with the prospect of naming our unborn son Optimus Prime.

it isn't really a cartoon, its a video game and it isnt make-believe, kratos is originally from mythology i think a lot of people will either probably pick on him or be very scared of him because its a pretty (unique?) weird badass name but i think that is going too far .-.

Thats nothing, if I had a kid, I'd totally name it after an anime character. Like Lelouch or something

I agree with #37, God of War is super cool. I think Kratos would be a very original name for a guy :) I think it would be better than something so generic such as 'John', 'Brad' or 'Bob'. Lastly, Kratos isn't from the cartoons.
