Today, I figured out why my name is Ashley. In order to tell my older sister about getting a new little sister, my parents thought it would be a good idea to make her imaginary friend "Ashley" real. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out via Facebook that my older sister just had another baby, a whole week ago, whose name is my middle name. No one told me. I didn't even know she was pregnant. FML
Today, my boss called me Ashley. My name doesn't even start with an A. I even wear a name tag. You would think after nearly four years, your boss would remember your name. Every time he speaks to me, it's a different name. FML
Today, I found out my 11 year-old's best friend, who is two months older than her, is also her sister. FML
Today, I had to put my little sister to bed. Usually my mom sings her a lullaby before she puts her to sleep, so I did too. After I finished the song, my sister looked me dead in the eyes and said, "This is why I tell people we aren't related." FML
Today, my sister answered texts from my girlfriend as though she was me. My girlfriend was glad we had a real heart to heart, even if it was just texts, while I was busy at work. I have no idea what they talked about and I’m too cowardly to break her heart by telling her it was my sister. FML
Today, I found out that even though my sister and I are identical twins, I'm known as "The ugly one". FML
Today, I found out that my sister, who is 16 years older than me, is actually my biological mother. She and my parents decided it was best that I didn't know who my real mother was, and to be raised by my grandparents as their child. I've always hated my sister. FML
Today, my little sister asked me what she would look like when she got older. I told her that she would probably look a lot like me. She started to cry. FML
Today, I found out I'm going to have a sister. Who’s the mom gonna be? It’s my cousin from my mom’s side. My dad’s excuse? "Well, she ain’t blood related." FML
Today, I decided it was time to tell my daughter that she had been adopted. Not only had she known for 5 years, she found out from my drunk sister. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Aw cute! Well your sister must've gotten some joy out of that! It's not like Ashley is a crappy name anyways!

So... if I want to make my imaginary friend real... I just have to get a girl pregnant? That would be a great idea, if only girls would talk to me.

I think that's actually a really cute story. Why is that an fml?

My name's Ashley... It's a good name.

Stacy's mom has got it going on. Hey, I was named after a "Playboy Centerfold" and my husband "Paul" was named after a T.V. actor. Everyone has a story behind their names. It's only sucks if you have an odd name that you hate and/or no one can pronounce.

My friend is named after a soap-opera character.

That's a little bit too 'Sixth Sense' for my liking...

My name is Marie. My mom named me after the actress Marie Osmond. Yeah, it sucks. But at least Marie is a normal name. My kid has a girl in her gymnastics class named: Ja'Maleah.

It's cute, it's nothing to whine about. How did this even end up on fml?

I disagree. I'd take this as "you're sister is more important than you, so we named you simply because it would make her happy, we don't give a crap about you, we named you this to make how you well an inconvenience less so." Idk what im saying. But. Yeah.
