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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

Wow, pregnant women these days are becoming hormonal beasts... Just get her some pickles and icecream and she'll be fine!

It's called 'synesthesia', OP. And if she doesn't feel comfortable with the name Tabitha, just pick another name that you both like.

How did you not know your wife has synesthesia?

It's possible she didn't even know it herself; as you can see in the other comments, a lot of grapheme-colour synaesthetes just think that it's normal and everyone experiences the letters like that, until one day they read something about synaesthesia, or they mention it and somebody acts like they're crazy.

Tabitha is orange...it's like the colour of a pumpkin or a leaf in the fall.

Still, Tabitha was your choice?

58 - You're a moron. You DO realise that pregnancy hormones effect different people differently, at different levels, in different ways, and at different times, right? For example, pregnancy hormones can give women antenatal depression, regardless of their situation. But according to you that's "just an excuse", right? I know I've acted out of control during my pregnancy sometimes, and I'm fully aware that it was due to hormones because I'm not normally like that. So how about you shut the hell up and stop making yourself look like an idiot.

sounds like synaesthesia. I have a mild form of it. I don't like the letter H much, myself.

I agree with your wife. T is a very aggressive orange and stabby letter. I have synesthesia too and that's exactly what T is.
