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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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.

How is that an FML? That's pretty cool if you ask me.

That's...no. Don't let him do that. The years of embarrassment your child will endure are worse than you having to go back on your agreement with your husband. I mean, Kratos is badass, but unless you're going to tattoo him white and red and burn big knives onto his arms I don't really think it's appropriate.

So basically the verdict here is that it would be really awesome and cool name, up until he's 18 or 20ish. Then, when he goes for his first REAL job interview, at someplace nice (you know like after college or something), and he sits down with his interviewer, how awesome do you think his name is gonna be? "Are you foreign? What country were you born in?" "The U.S. My dad just really liked the game God of War." I don't care how cool you think the name is when he's fifteen, but the kid would probably be embarrassed to have to say that to a CEO or a higher up who's interviewing him, especially when he's 45 or 50 years old having to explain the name choice, since he probably won't look foreign. I say middle name, and don't ever make this deal with your hubby again!

That name is badass. He`ll grow up to be a real man. No one dares to **** with Kratos on the playground.
