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

baby names
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

Daddy issues
Today, we got our daughter's birth certificate. Turns out my husband thought it would be funny to give her a middle name, which we never discussed, and he picked one to sound funny. Not actually going to tell the internet her name, but it’s as bad as calling a boy Ben Dover. I’m furious. FML

Today, I realized that in French, my name means "penis." This wouldn't be so bad if my dad wasn't fluent in French. 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, I told my family that I wanted to change my last name to my future wife's. We want to have the same last name, and we chose hers because she is an only child, while I have three brothers. Half of my family is laughing and calling me "pussy whipped" while the other half won't speak to me. FML

No, it's not a bad name at all, but it is slang for butt, and apparently, according to other commenters, ******, depending on where you live, and kids will make fun of everything these days. Sure, if they don't name her Fanny, they will probably find something else to make fun of, but it's really a terrible thing to hate your name, you know?

It's another name for a butt- not a ******...

Even though, in most places, it's a butt, I think it's ****** in a couple places?

I really don't see the problem, given the FML is set in France. It's a very common name here, and it doesn't have any gross meaning in french.

Is your last name McLovin ? It would still be better than my kid sisters English teacher whose last name was Lichker (pronounced licker) and decided to name her son.. Richard.

Fanny is not such a bad name. I know many people named Fanny

We've got a Strip Club by that name around here - Fanny's.

Fanny is usually short for Frances so just make sure Frances is what goes on the birth certificate. Then your wife can call her Fanny but when she is older if she doesn't like it or gets teased she can use her full name.
