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

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

Have you actually told her flat out what it's slang for? In many parts of the world, it is a perfectly normal name. And if English isn't her first language it might be hard for her to pick up on slang like that. Or she might nor care if you aren't actually living in an English-speaking country or planning to move to one, MANY names would become unusable if you considered what it would mean in other languages.

No "if"s, "and"s, or "butt"s?

Tell her that Fanny means ****** and every time she calls "Come here, little Fanny!" she'll be calling "Come here, little ******!"

It is a decision that should be made by the both of you. Give her alternatives and grow some balls.

It means ****** down here in NZ. We have a French town here and it's the first I've heard of someone being called Fanny. OP change it to something else!!!! Use that name as her middle name

You could look up a list of names on the Internet and show them to her. Uncommon or French or whatever kind of name you guys want and try to remind her this is your daughter too and you should both agree on her name or make some kind of compromise.
