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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my partner convinced both of our little brothers that we are naming our son Obi-Wan. They now won't stop rubbing my belly and quoting Star Wars. This is going to be one long Christmas. FML
Today, my daughter finally gave birth to twin boys. She informed me that she named them Peregrin Took and Meriadoc Brandybuck. My grandsons are named after Hobbits. 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, my fiancé informed me he didn't want a regular wedding cake, he wants a Batman cake. I have nothing against this, except that he already decided the wedding theme would be Star Wars. Essentially, I'm marrying a child. 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, while talking to my girlfriend, the subject of Darth Vader came up. That's when she asked me, "Aren't Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker the same person?" I don't know what's worse, the fact that she asked me that, or the fact that I got upset over her lack of Star Wars knowledge. FML
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
Today, my girlfriend of three days asked if we could start naming our future children. 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, I went to the hospital in labor expecting a baby boy. I ended the day with identical twins, a baffled doctor, and a husband convinced that our sons can clone themselves. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You may as well have a lawyer on retainer for when they both want to change their names on their 18th birthday. Vayda is actually kind of cool. At least he doesn't want Yoda or Jar Jar.

Oh dear. Hope you told him where to shove those suggestions.

Really, if you think about it, they aren't THAT bad. He could want to name them Chewbacca and Ewok. My cousin's husband wanted to name their child Thor, and he was dead-serious. THAT is scary.

Imagine his childhood "oh mighty god of thunder, smite me with your thunderbolt"

I've known a kid with that name, wasn't that bad. But Darth... it's almost like dirt, you know?

Thor is a perfectly normal name in scandinavia. Or Tor. Actually know many whos name is spelled either way.

I named my son Odin, after my grandfather whose parents came from Norway.

Haha! My dad actually wanted to name my older brother "Thor." My brother's best friends dad wanted to name his son "Ag." Just imagine to best friends walking around as Ag and Thor

I remember having a kid named Thor in one of my classes in high school. I thought it was a pretty cool name.

169- AHHHHH!!!! I love your reference to Aladdin!!!! If I ever have twins, I want to name them either Apollo(or Helios) and Selene :) so they would be the moon and sun

202- if you're going Greek mythology with the twin gods of the sun and moon, it's apollo and artemis

Would have been pretty awesome, especially if the kid grew up and joined a metal band. I mean how could a band not be epic with a member named Thor?
SammyS2012 21
I know it's Apollo am Artemis, but I really LOVE the name variation of Selene =/

Your kids will hate you.

Kids will hate any way

And people will ask the twins if their parents hate them .

Don't be surprised if he tries to get you to do Vader breathing while in labor.

Hahahahahahahahahaha! Oh my god! Well done! This made me laugh like crazy.

I honestly think those names are cool, and that they'll love them. Darth is harass, and Caudal is lovely and unique. Together they rock too!

badass* sorry!

Vayda* damn auto correct

Just sign the birth certificate without him knowing and pick the names you want, my friend did that :)

Oooh... such a lovely friend that you have there. With so much respect for her partner, I can't believe there aren't more happily married couples like that.

Your friend is a scumbag. Just because a scumbag friend you have did something doesn't mean you should tell others to do the same.

That's just as well...naming them Luke and Leia is just asking for trouble. That awkward moment when you walk in on your kids kissing...

I think it'd be best to Luke around for some other options, and hopefully you'll be able to Chews the right one. Try and Light the way with some suggestions, but for now, let your husband Saber his 'clever choices'.

I see what you did there. The force is strong with this one

I don't see what the problem is

Tell him that's a horrible idea and if he doesn't want his kids to be made fun of for the majority of their adolescence, he would reconsider.
