Trevor

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2017 but it's good stuff - United States - Oklahoma City

Today, my mom asked why my three-year-old son is named Trevor. After I told her it was from my favorite game, GTA V, she hit me over the head with a shoe. FML

She was just trying to give you an authentic GTA experience but forgot her baseball bat and brass knuckles! Moms are so sweet!

I don't see the true problem. Trevor is a real name, after all. At least you didn't pick a name that's completely fictional. I love video games, but you can only pick so many from different characters.

Rookie mistake. Next time just say it's a name you both heard and really liked.

You deserve it. Jeez why Trevor, the deadbeat loser who seeks drugs, when there is Michael a successful guy and Franklin a cool pimp

We have family with the last name Michael, and my partner's abusive and deadbeat dad's name is Franklin, and I've actually always liked the name Trevor, but I actually got to meet Steven Ogg while I was pregnant, and I told him I was going to name my son Trevor and he was so happy!

I don't see any big problem with using characters from TV shows, movies, and video games that you like as inspiration for names. Especially if you have a hard time thinking of good ones on your own.

probably should have hit you with the shoe a few more times when you were a youngster by the sounds of it

kinda like Trevor's mom, life imitating art

It's a gamer thing, she wouldn't understand

I don't know who Trevor in GTA V is (not a GTA person really), but as long as it's not an embarrassingly terrible name, you have every right to name your child whatever you want, from wherever you derive the inspiration and not be hit on the head for it.

Who throws a shoe? Honestly! But seriously, Trevor isn't a bad name. Granted, it might seem strange to some, particularly of a different generation, to name your kid after a video game character, but it could be a lot worse.

yes the op could have named the child gort or Englebert

Of course, the insane guy. No wonder she hit you. People seem to hate insanity...
