Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I discovered that my wife named our kids after her former lovers. We have two sons and a daughter. FML
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
Today, my father-in-law announced the name of his new son, my husband's half-brother. The first name and last name is the same as our son, who I gave birth to 4 months ago. FML
Today, I heard my daughter-in-law refer to her twin daughters, my precious twin grandbabies, as “the good one” and “the shit stain”. FML

Today, I went to my first ultrasound appointment. The daughter I was hoping for is actually going to be boy triplets. FML
Today, I came home to my wife crying. She had mixed up our newborn twin girls and couldn't tell which was which. I looked at the girls. Neither could I. FML
Today, I found out that my 6-year-old son was named after my wife's "Favorite Uncle" because he might also be the father. FML

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

that's nothing, if I have a son I wanna name him Geddy Lee(best rock bassist and vocalist of all time), if I have male triplets I'm naming them Alex, Geddy, and Neil

Why do parents think naming their children after their favourite fictional characters is a good idea? It sounds like an excellent way to make your children absolutely despise whatever it is you're a fan of.

That's epic.

I love how all the comments pointing out the grandsons are probably going to get bullied because of their names are getting massively downvoted. Sorry fanboys, your downvotes aren't going to change the behaviour of small children.

And unusual names are becoming much more common these days, so they might not get bullied at all.

I have a pretty normal/semi unusual name, that happens to be the same name as a famous cartoon character. Years and years of teasing/bullying about it as a child, and I still get the characters catchphrases recited to me by people who think this is the most original and witty thing ever for some reason. Basically, if children want to bully you, they will do so, but parents really shouldn't make it easy for them to do so, by giving names that are more appropriate for a pet then a human child.

I hope those kids like the quote: "They're taking the Hobbits to Isengard", because they are probably going to hear it several times a day for the rest of their lives.

The kids may get bullied at school, but this is actually the best thing I've heard in a while :D I really hope OP's daughter wasn't joking.
