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.

Okay, first of all, Kratos (or Cratos if you want it to look a little better) is the Greek word for strength, a perfectly fine name for a boy. Admittedly a bit odd, but definitely badass. Believe me, when that kid is older, everyone is going to know him as, "the kid with the really badass name." I know I would think that. Second of all, "make-believe cartoon character"? Yes, he's a video game character, but I'm going to give you a YDI just on basis of gaming ignorance. This is like when people think Mario is on the Playstation or that Halo invented FPS.

I must say, that is why my husband and I didn't make this deal considering I pretty much picked our daughters name ( he liked it so it wasn't a problem). If i left it up to him, Im pretty sure that his name would be sonic.

I find it really troubling that adults still feel this need to be edgy and reflect their own interests in the names of their children. It points to an immature sense of what is tasteful and what is absolutely not. I am all for non-traditional names, but not ones that are inspired by a damn video game or TV show or movie or whatever. If her husband had chosen based on the fact that it was a Greek god, then maybe it would be less irritating and immature, but because it originated from a video game.. it's just selfish and lacking in foresight, maturity, and respect for your son.
