Today, I spoke to my hormonal pregnant wife about baby names. I told her I liked the name "Tabitha", and she went into a full rage about how all letters have textures, colours and emotions and how T is an evil letter. Apparently it's orange, plastic, and a needle trying to stab her eyes out. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got in a huge fight with my pregnant wife because I cannot consent to naming our future daughter Paprika. FML
Today, we got our daughter's birth certificate. Turns out my husband thought it would be funny to give her a middle name, which we never discussed, and he picked one to sound funny. Not actually going to tell the internet her name, but it’s as bad as calling a boy Ben Dover. I’m furious. 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, on my shift as a nurse, I asked a pregnant woman what she would name her child. She said she saw the name "Chlamydia" on a billboard and decided to name her daughter that, saying it was "beautiful." I informed her that it was an STD, and she replied, "Oh, well no one knows that!" FML
Today, my French wife chose the name of our unborn baby girl. She wants to call her Fanny and won't change her mind. FML
Today, while picking names for our unborn daughter, my mom decided to help by providing a list of names she absolutely won’t accept because they’re all women she hates for insane reasons. It has over 300 common names on it. Every time we pick another name, boom, there it is on her damn list. FML
Today, I helped a lady give birth on the train. She was so happy she asked if she could name the baby after me, but as I told her my name she visibly turned her nose up at it, turned to her husband, and suggested naming it after his grandfather instead. FML
Today, at my cousin's baby shower, there was a discussion on what to name the baby. When the name Jacqueline was brought up, I made a face and exclaimed, "Ugh, I hate that name!" I was then informed that's the name of my cousin's mother-in-law. She definitely heard me. FML
Today, my wife told me she’s pregnant and we went through the whole range of emotions together, surprise, happiness, tears, anger, acceptance, you name it. An hour later she said she wanted to save the pregnancy test for memories. Guess she forgot her glasses, it very clearly says NOT pregnant. FML
Today, I gave a beautiful book of baby names to a friend of mine who's been trying to get pregnant for a while. She just burst into tears when she saw it. Just before meeting me, she'd found out she was sterile. FML

I recently discovered a kind of 'disease' where the people who have it connect letters and/or numbers with colours. Let me Google it... Synesthesia, that's the one.

If you think about it, they do have colours and textures... So do numbers and Days of the Week, and Months... I was little once, and some of those RANDOM thoughts still stick with me... Really, just think about them... Also, Music does too... It also has a moving landscape thing and other things... I'm not weird!!! Don't be Hatin'!!!!!!

No, this is not hormones or a crazy lady. This is called synesthesia. It is a mental condition in which letters, colors, numbers, and words have personalities or traits. Take this seriously, don't blow it off as the pregnancy speaking. It it treatable through therapy as one method and I believe there are others. I have researched this topic throughly for school papers and such.

It is not a serious condition nor is it in the DSM as an illness. Chill out.

That's the hormones talking.

It might sound like a psychotic hormonal break, but your wife just has synesthesia. It's a strange condition where sensory characteristics are mixed up in a person's brain and they end up tasting sounds, hearing colors, and seeing smells. My cousin has it--every letter has its own color, and she says it's hard to read because she gets distracted by the pretty colors she's visualizing. I have it mildly; I associate months with colors. January is ice blue, February is pink, March is brown, April is a dark primrose, May is bright green, June is yellow, July is bright orange, August is burnt orange, September is burnt sienna, October is black, November is dark red, and December is forest green. Don't ask. Anyway, OP, that's what your wife has, and the pregnancy hormones made her flip out when you suggested a name that had a bad connotation.

I have it too! I associate numbers with emotions. But yours is really cool. ^^

This synthesia thing sounds amazing, I wish I had it ¬.¬ I think my boyfriend might have it actually.. he tastes smells. I found this out when we were walking along and the smell of drains came close to making him throw up everywhere because he could taste them. I think I'd rather have the colour-letter version if I'm honest xD

No, it's not. It's synesthesia.

P.S Tabitha is a beautiful name. I don't see violent stabbing needles or whatever your wife saw in the T
fightingkittens 39
Well, you don't have synesthesia.
