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
new name
Storrs Mansfield, United States
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

That means butt in America, and I think ****** in the UK. Nice choice.

Fanny is a common French name. It shouldn't be a problem anywhere as I know like 3 Fannys.

It either means ass or c*nt, but as long as you don't move to the US or UK it shouldn't be a problem. Source:My name is Dick.

Fanny is a common name in France and trust me, as a French I can assure you it doesn't mean anything and most of us have no idea it actually means something in English. So I guess they live in France, it's more than ok. If not, that's another story...

That's not a strange name in europe. They also spell it as Fannie over here. Maybe that's a solution?

Sorry to break it to you, but 'Europe' isn't a country. It's a group of 25-30 countries iirc, each one with an extremely different culture. So in parts of 'Europe' it's fine. In other parts it's dreadful.

correction: its fine in most parts of europe. we have a total of 4 english speaking country's... wich makes the name cruel in only 4 country's. Fanny is also a normal name in the Netherlands and Germany
