Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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, after my wife gave birth to another of our daughters, she announced that this was the last one. When I reminded her I still needed a son to carry on my name, she replied, "Well, you've got four girls. You want a boy? Birth him yourself!" 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, I announced my fourth pregnancy, this time with twins. I heard my mother mutter, “Finally two kids from the same dad.” 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At least it's famous hobbits. Could've been named after one of the more obscure ones. Though Idk which would he better.

Setting them up for failure right from the start huh? They will eventually be adults. What professional grown man wants that kind of idiot ass name? They won't be taken seriously ever and I pity them for that.

We're not in the 50's, society today is very relaxed about names, and honestly I have an unusual name and I've held a job all my life. Plus no one has ever picked on me about my name. And I grew up in Cali and I just moved to MN. O.o no one has said a damn thing so I feel your either a worry wart or just being a negative Nancy.

Do you know who aren't relaxed about names? Small children and teenagers. Do you know who are often absolutely vicious to children with names that are deemed "funny"? Small children and teenagers. Do you know what the two grandsons are going to be spending most of their most emotionally vunerable years around? Small children and teenagers. If you love LOTR so much, change your name to Aragorn or Arwen, don't force it on your children. I'd much rather be a "negative Nancy" then one of those loopy, lah de dah, "eccentric" hipster parents who have no idea why little Sephiroth or Honeyblossom or Superman constantly comes home from school in tears.
