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

Best Baby Names of 2021
Today, my boyfriend has had name ideas for his future son and daughter even before I met him, but so have I. He disregards my ideas and suggestions, and is hell bent on giving our kids names because he likes "the way they sound." 'Hippopotamus' sounds good, but who’d name their kids that? FML
Today, my French wife chose the name of our unborn baby girl. She wants to call her Fanny and won't change her mind. FML
Today, my girlfriend of three days asked if we could start naming our future children. FML
Today, my husband and I were talking about names for our expectant child. I told him since I named our daughter he could name our son. He's decided on a name from 'God of War'. My son is going to be named after a make-believe cartoon character - Kratos. FML
Kid A
Today, me and my husband are having our first big marital argument. Our baby still doesn’t have a name, all because I want to call her a normal name and he wants to call her some obscure name from an anime he really likes. I’ve never seen him this stubborn about anything this stupid. FML
Copycat
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 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
Joyful news!
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, I found out my wife named our son after her ex-lover. FML
Build your own
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

YDI. You both produced it, you both should name it.

I have a cousin called Indigo and another called Cassius. They're from both parents naming them...
redbluegreen 41
I'm definitely naming my kids Red, Blue, and Green.
tjv3 10
I have already lost all hope for future generations so this doesn't surprise me at all. I think that is what is really the sad thing. Idiocy here we come.

I never said celebrities doing it was cool either.
doctorhook86 25
Not sure which is worse, calling a child "Raindrop" or misspelling it.
MrBrightside21 20
19 - My uncle was named "Jay" by my grandma and grandpa. But we call him J for short.
doctorhook86 25
21: I actually kinda like those names! Nice work. 25: The world is not going to hell in a handbasket. The next generation is not any stupider than the last one. The sky is not falling. Take a deep breath.
raraisbang 12
I have a cousin named Indrani, another named Electra Storm, and another named Gunner Wolfgang. I know all about crazy names. ;)
mike3775 39
Thats not always true though. Yes the wife and I created our two together, but we both agreed that if it was a girl, she would name them, if it was a boy, I would name them. Some couples do that. Of course I never named them anything weird sounding though
unknown_user5566 27
My husband always threatens to name our future son (if we have one) Optimus Prime. In comparison, "Raindropp" wouldn't be a bad alternative.

89-you could call him OP for short!!
efemel94 7
My name is dave. Everyone knows a dave.
thatKidzmOm 10
I wanted to name our son Remy, after gambit. Or Ryder. Or even Robbie. My boyfriend picked Aiden...of all the names in the world. It's not too late tho!!! There's time to change it up until the birth certificate is signed. Don't give in!
tctheamazing 7
What's wrong with the name Aiden?
megantaptap 2
My friend decided Optimus prime as his boys name too.

roz123 1
I think they wanna spell it that way
redreynard 14
Moon Unit Zappa?!
raraisbang 12
157, they aren't nicknames. My aunt actually put that on their birth certificates. She is a very strange woman.

Oh shit, that's messed up haha. "Hello my name is Electra Storm, how are you?" I'd be pissed

Electra storm sounds like a **** stars name

And now I picture A girl with the name Raindropp dancing in those sundrop commercials. Your child has a bright future in the soda industry ahead of him/her

123- bullshit
Trix_Disorder 20
People will just call him Ray.

Why do people want their child to suffer such a horrible name?

sarged3 5
I want to name my first son Maxamillion or max for short
oneFUCKINword 8
I don't see what's so terrible with both parents choosing the name together. My ex and I named our daughter Jaida-Lee together. I personally like it, but I'm biased. And it means neither of us have to look at her and think 'why the **** did I let him/her name her?
rainbowkissies 14
i dont see why people are downvoting 1's comment, i personally think that both should name it or at least agree on a name.
elisegreen 4
My cousins name is rainbow.. The other is tiger.. Yeah.
Ha1r1nY0S0up 15
... My name is Talon! I love it though :)
thatKidzmOm 10
20-there's nothing wrong with Aiden. It's number 7 on 2012 most popular kids names. So my son will have approx 6 other Aidens in his kindergarten class.
jayleensmama 14
Moon unit is dweezil zappas daughters name. That's not original.
PhishloverA 14
#75, it wasn't misspelled, there was just an extra letter added. There's a difference between misspelling a word and just adding an extra letter (the same letter the word ended with) to the end
doctorhook86 25
293: Sure, it's a deliberate misspelling to make the name more unique. Mostly though it's just a way to ensure that the kid will someday spend a lot of his or her time on the phone with banks, governments, and utility companies trying to sort out the misspellings on his account. PSA: Don't make your kid's life a hassle; give them an easy-to-spell name.
doctorhook86 25
#265 is a good example: his name is Talon, which is kind of unique, but it's spelled exactly how you'd expect it to be spelled. "Talonn" would have been much worse name. Incidentally, I have absolutely no idea wtf #265's profile blurb means...

228- please learn to spell Maximilian before you name your child.

His sister......

This generation of kids are stupid. Kids go around spelling words incorrectly and use grammar totally wrong, then when someone corrects them because even though he/she may have had a point he/she now appears to be uneducated and stupid the that person is a grammar nazi..
hurrimmadurg 0
Haha I know someone named Ocean too. But he spells it "Occean"

I have a friend named Rain. It isn't weird. You could call him that for short. :) it actually is a cute name.

At least Moon Unit is a nod to Frank Zappa...

Only if they're twins then it's perfect
42istheanswer 27
And only if ones blonde and ones brunette.

"Salt 'n' Pepa" would be a better name. Then when the OP is in the delivery room, the husband can coach her by saying: "Ah, push it - now p-push it real good"
mowmowlife 21
And then when they have a child they have to call it Paprika like the Blues Clues family
SwagPuppet 3
I would name the other one umbrella then!
Trisha_aus 15
Well for one, you have a lovely name OP ;) Totally irrelevant I know, cheers anyways

Even though raindropp does seem pretty dumb, it might fit their last name. Lets give him the Benefit of the doubt
MizzKilljoy69 11
you should check out my profile first, js..
ArmyxWife 5
Js?? Really?? That lazy we can't just type jackass??
Fatlove74 6
I hate to state the obvious 125, but I think MIzzKilljoy69 was going more along the lines of "just saying" and not "jackass".
_Oblivion_ 12
Alright 125 I'm not going to ruin your little rant thing you had going there but "js" means "just saying"
the_anti_hipster 7
113--and what last name could possibly justify "Raindropp"? Even with celebrities, names like "Pilot Inspektor" are just so, so wrong...
LLZNH 1
Maybe she could stand under Rihannia
Trix_Disorder 20
This is a terrible pun, no good at all. -- Hey Killjoy, it's spelled Chemical.

Don't rain down on his parade, very creative name, he's a keeper.
MichellinMan 20
Nope. Your too late.
abethehonest 4
The only reason you'd think thats normal is because your name is probably "cloudd"
unknown_user5566 27
57- Comments 3 and 4 were posted at the same time, so it's not really 4's fault. At least she used correct spelling in her comment. ;)
AlexaWuzHere 31
It's okay 4, I thumbed up your comment. It's not fair that someone with almost the exact same comment got 100+ likes just because they posted a few seconds before you
djjmax 7
Yeah bud imagine having to go through life with that name in today's generation
CallMeBloo 31
People can't name their kids for shit nowadays. I pray that he'll see the light and at the very least put Raindropp- which isn't even SPELLED correctly- in the middle, where it becomes a private, embarrassing story and not your child's daily torment.
flutter4 7
Maybe they spelled it like that on purpose. My son's name is spelled kaleb and not Caleb and there is nothing wrong with that.
CallMeBloo 31
There is a big difference between using an alternate spelling of an accepted name like Caleb, and something that is simply a word like Raindrop. It makes the namer look like they are unable to spell, and therefore not very intelligent. That being said, alternate spellings are annoying as well. I should know, as my parents saw fit to give me an alternate spelling of a name that was popular around the time I was born. No one spells it right on the first try, and very few remember the correct spelling without several reminders. The worst, though, is when I spell my name out for people letter-for-letter and they insist that THEIR spelling is correct. What the ****- I know how to spell my own name!
redbluegreen 41
What's sad is my name is spelled correctly and every time a stranger has to write it they use a weird variation of it. It's a really common name as well.
coolbrony12 3
Honestly, who cares?
cryskuni 5
I have people messing up the spelling of my very common name as well. The difference is, I don't have an alternative way of spelling it. I also don't complain about it. I would however complain if it was "Raindropp".
PlaySpades 21
I don't get why it's such a big deal. Every name originates from a different language and is a word as well. Names as simple as mine (Jessica) mean something in other languages- in Hebrew its original spelling means foresight, so everyone is named after a simple word, just in a different language. Asians name their children after words in their own language so why can't we?
Senseless_487 29
My daughter is going to have the same problem, 53. Her mother named her Zylla (pronounced with a long I sound), and most people mispronounce it on the first try, and look at me like I'm an idiot when I correct them. I fought the name; in fact, we had a different name picked out, but I didn't make it to the hospital in time, and she signed the birth certificate before I could get there.
roseXthorns 8
I have that problem. Mine is Cheyanne, but everyone, even family (I was adopted 7years ago with my original name) doesn't spell it correctly sometimes.
whosindahouse 9
70, I do.
Epsilonyx 15
Reminds me of this girl that desperately needed to separate herself from other sane mothers (and in the process, embarrass her child) by naming her daughter Nevaehika. Heaven spelled backwards. Plus "ika."
writergirl23 19
Lol I've heard of Ermintrude. At least with that the kid could be called Trudie.
Colonel_Lexi 18
6-A woman named her child Number 16 Bus Station because that's where she concieved her kid. Tacky right?
syley 5
Am I the only one who thinks that name would be perfectly fine? For a girl not a boy.
lenamartinovic 13
...and creepy. I'd ask social services to legally change my name.
Fmls4life 6
My neice is named Nevaeh and I wouldn't say my Uncle was insane.
Epsilonyx 15
There's nothing wrong with Nevaeh. Nevaehika?...
unknown_user5566 27
169- I'm assuming she didn't realize Ginny is also a character in Harry Potter?
vettle 6
That heaven spelled backwards name is so overdone and people think they're being creative. Gag.
RocketNinjaFish 12
47- are you referring to raindropp? that name would be cute for a little girl, maybe even a teenager, but it would just be weird when she got older.
Brilliant66star 17
You agreed, so YDI!
MichellinMan 20
but she didn't know he'd name him/her that, dumb ass.
Brilliant66star 17
One would hope she had some idea WHO she was agreeing with -- she married him, after all!

Is he a Storm (marvel) fan?

More like **** the kid's life if that's really gonna be their name.
