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

maybe get her to name her Francine? Then she can call her Fanny at home but the kid can use a more acceptable name out in the real world

Er in France, Francine is a old name . Fanny is common name . And the foreign language level is bad in France, very bad. In general the students who knew that Fanny meant in english are a students with good grades and ( even if I knew good students with bad behavior ,but it's rare) enough good behavior for didn't bullied students.)

I would recommend telling your wife that "Fanny" translates to "butts" in English.

In American English yes. In British English it's ******.

well it's a popular old name in France, I don't see the problem with the name i you think it's cute yourself why do you want her to change it.

Maybe because of the meaning it carried in other languages, personally I wouldn't want to name my child another word for butt or pussy. Maybe he's just concerned about how it'll impact her in later years?

If they don't plan to move back to an english speaking country, it won't bother her at all...

Well, in France Fanny doesn't mean what you think it means. If you're American or English it means something, but it's still a legitimate name. I mean, even the definition between England and America is different.

My mother-in-law's name is Fanny. She doesn't like it, but she gave one of her daughters that as a middle name.

Unless I'm mistaken, isn't "Fanny" also what British people call the vajayjay?

Did you just comment without reading all the other comments? This has been discussed more than a few times.

Explain to her why it isn't a good idea. xD We both know what those reasons are.

Move to France. Problem solved. Plus you get to live in France. C'est magnifique!

I guess if you plan on living in France for the rest of your lives it's no big deal. However, if you plan on moving to an English speaking country you might really want to talk her out of it, otherwise your daughter will probably take it up the -insert her name here- when the bullying starts.
