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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I had to yet again tell my mother-in-law that I wasn't going to name my unborn baby "Ermintrude" after her late mother. My husband told me to stop being difficult, and that he agrees that it would be nice. FML
Today, my mother-in-law insisted we go to a baby clothing store. When I reminded her that I don’t want children, she sat on the floor, crying, kicking and screaming. She then said I was denying her grandchildren because I hate her. Well, I didn’t… FML
Today, my sister-in-law had the nerve to hijack my baby shower to announce her pregnancy. It's all the more infuriating because we later found out that she's NOT pregnant, just a fucking attention whore. FML
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
Today, I had to explain to my sister in law why it’s a terrible idea to name her baby Aryan just because she likes the way it sounds. We’re all African Americans, but she still doesn’t see the issue with it. FML
Today, while planning my baby shower with my mom and sister, our other sister made a huge scene, screaming how no one threw her a party when she adopted a baby, and that my parents should stop referring to mine as their first grandchild since she already gave them one. A puppy. She has a puppy. FML
Today, my mother-in-law asked me when my fiancé and I were going to start having children. When I told her we weren't planning on having any, she went on a tirade about how selfish and cold I am for denying her precious grandchildren. Now she hates me. FML
Today, while at a family baby shower, my grandfather thought it would be funny to inform me, in front of everyone, that I had gotten fat. I'm 7 months pregnant and the baby shower was for me. FML
Today, my mom and I were looking at pictures from the beach. She goes, "That is a REALLY ugly picture of Michelle" (my cousin). The picture was of me. FML

One of my best friend's name is Jacqueline, but we all call her Jackie because . . . Wellz actually idk why, it is really a beautiful name, I don't understand why people would dislike a beautiful name like that when some people go around naming kids things like "Prudence" (and yes, people really do name their kids that, I used to know a Prudence)

There's polite ways of saying it. OP's wasn't polite. I personally like that name. I like Jackie better, though. I liked it before I met my girlfriend, but people think I like it cause her name's Jacquelyn.

I don't see why she gives a shit what her cousin's MIL thinks anyway. She might as well worry about what Joe Bloggs of 2 Anywhere St thinks if she's gonna make a big deal about realtionships that tenuous.

She shouldn't really be offended, you don't exactly pick your own name.

Chesty LaRue did. Wait, no she didn't. Her husband did. Forget it.

I like the name :) Its just really formal sounding and I hate that its shortened to Jacky. But the girl name I have picked out is Carson so I dont follow name rules anyway lol

My middle name is Carson. It was a really horrible name to grow up with.
