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.

get your revenge, have another kid, and demand you get to name it. Then name it after an ex-boyfriend of yours, one your husband knew about. This works better if you have a daughter.

Maybe you can compromise and let Kratos be the middle name? D: That poor child. I can see that it's nice to have a creative name, but still. >>

Compromise. My mother wanted to call me Atticus, after my father, but he refused saying that all the To Kill A Mockingbird references would drive me up the wall once I was old enough, as it did him. So now it's my middle name, and my friends tend to use more than my actual first name. I have my ordinary, overused first name and my really cool middle name. It's a win-win situation.

omg why not Master Chief from Halo. That'd get some major respect.

#502 I was just commenting to say something along those lines!!! You might want to call yourself lucky your husband isn't a Halo fan (or just a bigger GOW fan). I'm hoping to be able to get away with (legionary of the 13th) Titus Pullo. Actually I'm thinking Octavian or something celtic. I really wish my name was something like Gaea instead of Kayla (couldn't have at least been spelled Caila). Anyway, video games tend to take names and things from really cool sources (Dante and Virgil anyone?).
