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.

lord. that sounds EXACTLY like one of the guys i used to work with at a gamestop. i was workin there cos i knew i could get hired and needed a job in high school. He was, like, a military vet and about two feet tall and i think this was honestly one of his ideas for his childs name. god

*laughs* I get you. I told my fiance that she could pick names because I'm horrible at naming anything. our son's name (if/when we have one) is now going to be Edward Link. Edward from an anime. Link from the Legend of Zelda.

That's an awesome name lol When I was pregnant with my son, before we found out the sex, I told me now husband that he could name the baby if it was a boy. It was a boy...he named him Seifer after final fantasy. lol You're not alone!

Okay, first...I didn't read ALL the comments so it may have already been answered, but are we talking Kratos from God of War (who is sorry and entirely centered around "monster? I'ma hit it wif a sword!" and has a little forced background so that fanboys can say he's not two dimensional) or Kratos from Tales of Symphonia (who is smart, strong, fast, a freakin' ANGEL, and has the coolest coat this side of Dante...yeah, I'm a fanboy, but at least he's got more depth than a spoon). Second, I've seen a lot of "Women shouldn't give up the right to name babies" and "Men are dumb/shouldn't be allowed to think" and "You're the one who's pregnant". Just a thought, but I'm guessing that every one of these women (they all seem to be women) would freak the hell out if they asked their bf/husband for help with part of the pregnancy/naming and his response was "I don't care, you're the pregnant one". Lastly, I am male, intelligent, and generally rational and level-headed. When asked for help with baby names by my ex-wife I put together a list of names I liked and we decided that I got to pick a MIDDLE name and she'd do the first name. See, this way I get to name the kid something COOL and she gets to name the kid something "respectable".

seriously, this is retarded. you dont HAVE to let the kid be named that. its not like you signed a contract with him. DONT LET THE KID GO THROUGH LIFE SUFFERING WITH THAT NAME. and quit being such a ******* push-over.

I don't see the issue. What's wrong with Kratos? I mean, it's not exactly the most common name, but at least your husband didn't choose something like Eugene. Besides, Kratos is pretty awesome in Tales of Symphonia.
